Within minutes and being a market day, a large crowd surrounded with fellow boda-boda riders staging a mild protest to save their colleagues who were at the moment being held and roughed by the officers.
It is said the officers had aimed to shoot a rider before the two women who were going about their business selling fruits came to the officers pleading for them to forgive the driver. It was at this moment that the officers opened fire at them killing one woman on the spot and the other died while being rushed to the hospital.
The incident caused a major protested that blocked Kisii-Kisumu highway. The residents condemned the DP and pulled down the Jubilee Party billboards that had been freshly erected.
