Dennis Njuguna Ngugi

Dennis Njuguna Ngugi was seventeen, a Form Three student walking home from school in Molo when a peaceful morning protest swelled and General Service Unit officers opened fire. He was not part of the demonstration. A bullet struck him and he died where he fell. His killing turned the town's grief to rage; the community burned the county offices and a fire engine in the hours that followed. He was laid to rest amid tears and anger, a child who simply wanted to get home.
