A mother is demanding justice as two of his sons died after being arrested by police officers for flouting COVID-19 protocols.

Alongside area residents, the mum stormed the Manyatta police station on Wednesday demanding answers over the death of his sons.

The two were students at Don Bosco Technical Institute and Moi Kabaraka University respectively.
