A wheelchair-using man from Kilifi County has spent three consecutive days sleeping outside the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) office in Malindi, refusing to leave until officers attend to his case concerning the alleged murder of his father in 2022.

Steve Kitsao Masha told those following his story online that he had been summoned by the DCIO to provide further details about his father's death.
