Vanished by the Badge: The Execution of Willie Kimani and the Justice He Died Defending
What happens when the law turns on those who defend it?
In this gripping true crime story, Vanished by the Badge traces the heartbreaking final days of Willie Kimani, a human rights lawyer, his client Josephat Mwenda, and their taxi driver Joseph Muiruri, three innocent men who were abducted, tortured, and murdered after challenging police brutality in Kenya.
Through real events, public records, and human-centered storytelling, this book explores:
· The chilling moment Willie scribbled a desperate note from inside a hidden cell
· The mysterious fire at the very police post where they were last seen
· A river that revealed a truth too horrifying to ignore
· And the rare court case that followed, slow, painful, but determined to deliver justice
This is not just a story about crime.
It’s a story about courage, cover-ups, and the haunting silence that follows injustice.
It’s a tribute to those who speak up and a call to those who must never forget.
