This verifies his family’s opinions, which were first delayed in the post-mortem process at the Nairobi Funeral Home. They believe he was shot by police while coming from work.
A witness’s story backs up the autopsy reports, revealing that Ayomo was simply walking, minding his own business, when he was struck by a stray bullet. It hit his eye.
According to additional witness testimonies, it was raining severely during the event, and when police used teargas to disperse crowds, his body was left exposed on the ground, with a number of landcruisers passing by and providing no assistance.
