The family and friends of the late Masoud Musa held a protest in Kadzonzo Kaloleni outside the shop of the deceased following his murder in April. Human rights defenders joined in the protest to pressure the police to conduct a thorough investigation and apprehend the suspects.
The family of the deceased accused the police of covering up the murder since they had failed to arrest the suspects despite their faces being captured on the CCTV cameras. The Kaloleni Sub-county Criminal Investigation officer was non-committal on investigations hence referring the grieving family and the press to the Kilifi County Criminal Investigation Officer. The family aired the grievances to the police claiming for justice for their son’s death but to no avail.
The protest was to call for justice for the family and calling out the police on their lack of urgency and/or covering the case. The protest was however peaceful with no violence or interruptions.
