LOCKDOWN BEGINS AFTER SECURITY SCARE

It was very premature of me to praise the Interior CS in my previous post in the light of the fact that there will be no holiday tuition. In the past two weeks and 48 hours alone, there has been grisly murders in the county especially in Bureti Sub-county. First it involved the murder of a famous teacher and his wife in their own house. Mr and Mrs Langat were found dead inside their own house and investigations were launched into the matter.
"Rasta, Huku ni kubaya."
"Kabisa. Msako umeanza hata hapa."

We followed the action

Just yesterday, Felix nearly got arrested after he got late from his drinking sprees. Luckily, he always carried his ID an the patrolling officers allowed him to leave. They also warned him that he would be the guest of the state if he was found out again in the dead of the night.

The murdered couple were buried just last week. Three days later, a form one student was also found murdered inside his small room in the same area where the elderly couple were murdered. Though the protests happened in Litein, we followed the action via those who sent short videos through Whatsapp and Facebook. 

"Umeskia curfew imeanza?"
"Hapana."
"Matiangi gave the order. Kwani haukucheki news na vile wewe you always watch news."

Fear had forced them

I didn't watch the news since I was busy with Doris. But now I am afraid that we would not be meeting as usual after this directive. Her father is also paranoid than ever. He wouldn't have to worry about randy mafisis eyeing his daughter but potential serial killers too.
"This is bad."
"Yeah."
Tom came in and served us the usual. The topic thereafter revolved around the curfew and what would change in our lives. One thing was clear, things would never be the same again. While Tom and Felix were applauding the move, I was secretly fuming at the implications.
One is that Doris or Miriam will never sneak out again. Even if they were forbidden by their parents, fear had forced them to abide by this after the murders.
