Police are searching for the driver of a Nicco Movers matatu after a KMTC student was allegedly pushed out of the moving vehicle and died on Thika Road towards Nairobi. The incident follows a nationwide matatu strike protesting rising fuel prices. Separately, a driver identified as Christopher Mwenda Robert is being held for 21 days in Machakos following the deaths of three youths last week who were watching a PSG vs Arsenal match. Additionally, a horrific family tragedy occurred in Thika where a man reportedly killed his wife and two children by dousing them in acid.
