Calls for justice dominated speeches during the burial of two brothers who were lynched in Kitengela two weeks ago.
Fred Mureithi and his younger brother Victor Mwangi together with their two cousins had gone to Isinya to celebrate Victor's 25th birthday.
But they were lynched by angry villagers who mistook them for cattle thieves.
During the burial of the two siblings on Friday, their mother - Lucy Wanjiru- maintained that his children were innocent and were victims of mistaken identity.
“My sons were the best thing that ever happened to me and it pains me to know that I will never have a chance to speak or see them anymore,” she said.
Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni said it was unfortunate to lose promising young men under unclear circumstances.
“Police must do their work properly to ensure that all those linked to the killings are brought to book and justice is served to the family,” Kioni said.
The lawmaker said they would follow the matter to its conclusion.
Friends and relatives who spoke during the burial eulogized the two as hardworking, saying that it was unfortunate that their lives were cut short at their prime age.
The prime suspect behind the grisly murder of the four is in police custody.
Benson Melonyie ole Mungai, 40, was arrested from his hideout in Kitengela town Monday evening, where he has been hiding.
His arrest comes a few days after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) took over investigations into the murders.
