Fw: {UAH} Murders /mob violence in Kenya-

Whereas I agree with some assertions WBK you are putting here, there is no was a civilian can be ordered to do something by a military or police officer that is illegal and go scot-free unless the civilian proves that it was under "force" during the legal due process! Pamba was a 'Officers Mess" premises cleaner, not a cleaner of death scene blood and officers car blood stains.... give us a break on this one.

Even in the forces, junior officers can disobey they seniors on "illegal commands".......: "No Sir/Madam" is the common retort.

Subject: {UAH} Murders /mob violence in Kenya-

folks:

An air force major Mugure murdered his wife and 2 kids inside a military base in Nanyuki   The bodies were found buried in shallow grave.   The major ahs been and arrested and apparently summarily dismissed  from the air force. He was arrested along with a cleaner at  the senior officer's mess for helping him dispose off the bodies.   The police got a break when someone called to say the major called and asked him to take gunny bags to him.   

Then the cleaner, one, Pamba directed police to the shallow grave where the 3 bodies were retrieved.

strangely the state has charged the major along with the cleaner. Wrong move.  The state should actually make the cleaner a key witness because his role was after the murders had taken place. Being a military place, Pmaba obeyed orders from the major to accompany him on his mission to go and dispose off the bodies.

Yet he too is facing murder changers. The state should use him as a state witness to pin the major.  Plus Pamba's lawyer will probably argue that his client simply obeyed orders-yes he was a civilian cleaner in a military mess and had nothing to do with the actually murders.

In any  case the question  is this: what did the three, the mother and her child die of ?   And who did that to them? Most likely under that test, the cleaner is not guilt of murders. The cleaner and the fellow who delivered the gunny bags should be the key state witnesses.

Also, how did the major move 3 bodies from  inside a military barracks ? Who was on duty? They too may have simply obeyed orders because when  a major approaches in the military, obey orders and ask or protest later.

Then the murders of bouncers at a funeral in Busia. I expect more violence because the bouncers group is threatening to invade the village and arrest the people who killed their friends.  Folks, one place in African society where you must avoid if necessary are funerals.  To paraphrase he late Mbiti, at funerals Africans are very emotional and can do anything just like that.

Police has arrested 3 people along with the co-wife and charged them with the death of the 6.
