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, 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.”
May Sheila rest in peace and may justice prevail.
