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.

Another story revealed that Mutuku died of blunt force trauma to his leg and pelvic bone, which caused overbleeding inside his body and not head injuries.
Many people have speculated that the KMTC lad died from head injuries because he was thrown from the matatu, but it turned out that the matatu actually running over him caused his death.
According to Mutuku’s brother, he was a dreamer, and his friends who came to visit said that he had very big plans for the future.
