A family’s pain tears through a funeral home in Kenya. At the centre of the grief, three children ... Their mother Eunice Wanjiku was stabbed to death two days before by their father- In front of their eyes.  
Young people have gotten out of control - this generation of Gen Zs. And I know it’s not only here, it’s wherever you come from. 

AT 32, Eunice had been married for more than a decade. Her younger sister, Susan says she was close to the couple. But she also knows the relationship was physically abusive. On the day her sister was murdered, Susan had spoken to both of them:

She used to call me - in fact, that week, Eunice called me to ask me to send her bus fare to come home. She had been beaten. It was on a Sunday – she'd been chased from home.  Her husband also called me and said, ‘I have tried to fix this marriage with your sister, but she is not interested’. I told him, ‘She’s not interested because every time you drink, you beat her’. 
The exact details of what happened next aren’t clear. The children reported that their dad locked them inside, before stabbing Eunice – first in her chest and several times in her abdomen. Their neighbours forced their way into the house and found the children crying over their mother’s body.

They sat there on the seat as everything was happening. They were locked in the house. They saw everything. The three of them just sat there.  
The children’s dad was taken into custody.  
Months after Eunice’s funeral, her family’s pain is still raw. Her children are under state custody, at a children’s home. Their grandmother is desperate to reunite them with the family. Although she has no financial means to support them, she still wants them close.

If I saw them I would be so happy. Because when I see them, I see Eunice, especially in the youngest who looks just like her.  
Eunice's alleged Killer is already in custody, but the case could drag on for years. For the family, justice would mean keeping him behind bars.
