The body of Mercy Wanjiru Thairu, a 21-year-old University of Nairobi student, has been discovered at the City Mortuary, days after she went missing following a night out with friends.
Her family and friends, who had been searching for her since the weekend, traced her body to the morgue, where it was confirmed that she had died in a road accident.
Mystery Surrounding Her Death
According to police reports, Wanjiru was allegedly hit by a vehicle near a carwash along Thika Road after being dropped off by a bodaboda rider. However, her family remains puzzled about the circumstances leading to her presence on the highway.
The third-year Economics student had reportedly blacked out after consuming alcohol that night. Her family suspects she may have been drugged, as she was the only one in her group who lost consciousness.
Ongoing Investigations
Authorities have launched investigations to piece together the events leading to her tragic demise. Police are questioning those who were last seen with her to establish the exact sequence of events.
As her family seeks closure, they are calling for a thorough probe to uncover what really happened to their daughter.
