That, therefore, means that he bled to death from catastrophic injuries to his legs and pelvis after being run over by the vehicle.
A Makadara court has released managers Wines Mugire and Alex Kabuthi from Nicco Sacoo on KSh 1 million bond each after they denied hiding critical evidence in the case of Eugene Mutuku, who was thrown out of their matatus.

Mutuku, a Kenyan Medical Training College (KMTC) student, was sadly thrown out of a matatu while en route to a hospital in Kasarani where he was on attachment after lacking KSh 20 to add on to his fare.
The two were accused of hiding a rogue crew and chose to protect their business over a dying teenager’s life and because of the heavy charges, the two, who were not given an option of a cash bail, will remain in custody until when they can pay the money and also meet all other requirements from the court.
“He was a dreamer, and his friends who came to visit said that he had very big plans,” said his brother.

Family of Mtuku demands justice
Meanwhile, the family of the late Mutuku demanded justice after the brutal way he was allegedly killed by a canterkerous matatu crew.
According to a witness, the incident was caused by negligence from the vehicle crew; even after calling them out, Otieno and Kirumba continued to pick other passengers like nothing happened.
Another victim, Joseph Mureithi, faced a similar fate earlier this year, and there has not been a successful conviction up to now, raising concerns over matatu safety and accountability.
