We have woken up to another sad story of a woman who was allegedly murdered by a gang of six men for being gay.
The tragic news has gone viral, with notable human rights activist Njeri Wa Migwi even discussing it on her Facebook page.
“I just spoke to Sheila’s Lumumba best friend today, and we cried together. Today Sheila is dead, six men broke into her house and gang-r*ped her, further broke her leg according to the autopsy and killed this beautiful beautiful human in Karatina town,”said in her post.
Njeri would add, saddened, that she hoped the late Sheila would haunt those who had done such a heinous act to her.
“Why? Because she was a lesbian. My heart is beyond broken. Sheila don’t rest, if you don’t get justice don’t rest babe, do not give them rest, curse them, that blood that you shed curse them, may they never know peace. May your blood follow them, from the raising of the sun and to the setting of the sun. Curse them. Haunt them, don’t let them rest, don’t let know peace. Haunt them.”
She concluded by emphasizing the importance of homosexual women’s lives.
“I hate it here. . Y’all hate women. Y’all kill us every day and at every chance. Queer women’s lives matter. Your life mattered Sheila.”
May Sheila’s soul rest in peace, and may those who perpetrated this crime face the full force of the law.
