Meru Man's Murder: Family Accuses Deputy Governor in Political Scandal

Meru Man's Death Sparks Political Firestorm: Family Accuses Deputy Governor of Involvement A shocking murder in Meru County has ignited a political controversy. A man known only as "Sniper" was found dead, his body discovered in the Mutonga River. His family alleges he was killed for criticizing former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza, and that Mwangaza's deputy paid for the hit. "Kawira and her deputy are responsible for my son's death," claims Ann Kanjera, Sniper's mother, in a heart-wrenching interview. "They should be brought to book and explain everything." While the police investigation continues, Mwangaza and her husband, Murega Baiichu, strongly deny any involvement. Baiichu stated, "We can't let you down by doing such an act. God knows the truth." The video shows footage of the crime scene and the new home being built for Sniper's widow and children, a promise made by the Deputy Governor. The case underscores the tensions and allegations of political violence in the region.
