Killer police officers

Kwekwe is her name, this can be mistaken with the  special police unit now dismantled that was accused of extra judicial killings. She is a 14-year-old girl Kwekwe Mwandaza, a class 4 pupil in Kwale Couny. The ambitious girl was full of vigor to accomplish her dreams and be a better person in future. This has been cut short by her death caused by the same people who are supposed to ensure that our security is guaranteed.  The young girl was killed by police officers in pretence of self defense.  This raises questions to how a young girl can be able to threaten more than eight armed policemen to an extent that they had to shoot three bullets to ensure that they were safe. More shaming fact is that the county commissioner defends the police by saying that they were defending themselves.

The commissioner also claims that the young girl came out with a machete and tried to attack the police, this brings to question the kind of training undergone by the police officers. If only a machete can make them shoot then they must be cowards themselves; not even an old grandma could be terrified at the sight of a machete. The police should give us a break because we are tired of such killings which the poor are the victims. We hope the officers will be taken to court and that justice will prevail.
