The family of a matatu conductor who allegedly died in a police cell in Kenyenya has pleaded with the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji to intervene and ensure they get justice.
Paul Onderi is reported to have been arrested by police officers on Wednesday and later died mysteriously in the police cells. Speaking during an interview with this writer on Friday, the deceased's wife, Mary Onderi, urged detectives to speed up the investigations and ensure her husband's killers are brought to book."My husband was the sole breadwinner in the family. His death is a blow to me because all our children are in school and I don't have a job to pay for their school fees. The DPP should intervene for us to get justice," she said.The widow said postmortem done on her husband's body on Friday revealed that he died due to severe injuries on the head, an indication that he was hit by a blunt object several times. Maurice Maangu, a neighbour, described the deceased as a peace-loving person who could associate with anybody. "Onderi was a loving person. He could hardly quarrel with people. Detectives must produce the killers and prosecute them for his family to get justice," said Maangu.
