“It is painful beyond words,” a relative stated during a media briefing, echoing the family’s profound shock. “We are broken, and we are asking for answers.”

The lack of progress on the initial case has only amplified the family’s pain and frustration as they now face the grim reality of planning yet another funeral for a child lost to violence.
Kenyans on social media have joined in mourning with Hon. Were’s family, sending messages of condolences and calling for immediate government intervention.
Security lapses in urban areas have once again taken center stage, with citizens demanding swift justice. Kisumu authorities have since launched a rigorous investigation into Hanington’s murder, promising to hunt down the assailants and bring them to book.
