The old man delivered a stern and spiritually charged message to those responsible for his son’s brutal death.
What did Meshack tell Ojwang's killers?
The grieving father stood before a tearful congregation and quoted Scripture as he addressed the individuals who took his son's life.
Drawing from the book of Proverbs, chapter 21, and the biblical story of Cain and Abel, he reminded mourners that innocent blood never stops crying out for justice.
“In my interpretation, blood is symbolic. It never dies, and it can bring pain and suffering,” Meshack said solemnly.
He continued:
"Blood that spills on the ground with no justifiable cause, brings pain and suffering."
Meshack’s message was clearly directed at his son’s killers, whose actions have sparked nationwide outrage and calls for justice.
He condemned their heartlessness and warned that no matter how they try to conceal their crime or polish their public image, they will never know peace.
“Nataka niseme kwamba damu hio ya Albert ambayo imemwagika bila hatia, waliochukuwa maisha ya mwenzao na kumwaga damu na kuficha uovu wao, watabaki na heshima, utajiri na sifa za aina yoyote lakini hawatakuwa na amani,” he declared.
Ojwang passed away under mysterious circumstances while in police custody, sparking outrage among Kenyans.
