One more person was reported dead on Tuesday following fierce protests in the larger Mathare and Kiamaiko area bringing the number of fatalities to two.
The protest lasted the afternoon as residents pushed authorities to reveal the whereabouts of two young men, Maxwell Kiarie and Abdulasiz Molu popularly known as Zizo from the estate who have been missing for more than ten days.
Parents of the two and the residents claim the two were picked by people believed to be security agencies in what has turned Mathare into a battlefield between the police and Mathare residents.
On Wednesday officials at Mathare Social Justice reported that second person, a know businessman in the area succumbed to in the evening hours. "The man identified as Warqo was shielding a pregnant woman who had been caught up in the melee and we suspect that he was shot on the chest, he was a Muslim and was buried on Wednesday afternoon according to Islamic rites," a witness said.
