The family of Caleb Otieno, an employee of Thika-based Blue Nile Rolling Mills Ltd, who was killed after he fell into a vat of molten steel last month, is entangled in a row with his employer over compensation and has said it will move to court.

Otieno’s father, Martin Oraro, 74, told the Business Daily in an interview on Tuesday that the compensation talks seem to have collapsed. He termed the amount offered as compensation by the company a ridicule to the family, given the horrific way in which his son met his death.
