The burial of two siblings, Benson Njiru Ndwiga and Emmanuel Mutura Ndwiga who were killed while in police custody is ongoing in Kithagari village, Embu County.
In photos circulating on social media, the family of the two siblings is still seeking justice even as arrests of those involved are yet to be made.
The bereaved mother is captured in pain and tears as she received the body of her children. According to the family, the two siblings will be buried in one grave.
