I am glad Brian is with family. Is there anything I can do for the family. The most I can do is offer some type of financial assistance. Perhaps I can help with the burial expenses. Please let me know and also, let me know how I can send it to be sure they receive it. ~Brandon David,

The house had been vacated as the father could no longer live in a house that had been filled with so 'much sorrow and blood'. We located the father, Jeremiah Mungai who first explained what had happened on that fateful day and then took us to the shamba, 20km away from Naivasha Town, where the baby now lives with the paternal aunty, race Mmbone Njoroge. It is symbolic of this heartbreaking upheaval that the father is a Kikuyu and the mother was a Luyha from different sides of the tribal schism that now threatens to take Kenya down a dark path and past the point of no return. On that fateful day, an as yet unidentified prison warden came from the side of the dwelling and fired one shot indiscriminately. When the father approached and asked why he was firing, the prison warden fired again repeatedly to disperse him some family members standing behind him. One shot hit the dwelling, pierced the side of the dwelling and hit the woman sheltering inside in the neck. The shot proved to be fatal. The mother stills lies in the mortuary awaiting an autopsy to remove the bullet that killed her. The case has been reported to local police and the OCS (Officer in Charge of Station) is "investigating the case".
