Main Story:
Tragic Discovery Weeks Later
The family of Susan Wanjiku Nyambura was thrown into mourning after learning of her death weeks after it occurred. Authorities reached out to them following identification of her body at City Mortuary through fingerprint records.
Susan is believed to have been killed between May 11 and 12, shortly after securing employment in the Cieko area of Kasarani.
Gruesome Details Emerge
A post-mortem examination revealed that she died from severe head injuries caused by blunt force trauma. Her body had been discovered near the entrance of her employer’s residence, raising immediate suspicion.
Inside the house, investigators encountered signs of a possible struggle. The space appeared abandoned, with personal belongings scattered and unsettling evidence suggesting violence had taken place.
Employer Vanishes Without Trace
Detectives have since launched a manhunt for the employer, who is now the prime suspect. Reports indicate that she disappeared shortly after the incident, leaving behind more questions than answers.
Her last known phone signal was traced to Makueni County, with witnesses alleging she could be using disguises to avoid detection.
Neighbour Accounts Raise Alarm
Residents in the area described a troubling sequence of events on the day of the incident. One neighbour recalled hearing distress calls before discovering Susan’s lifeless body.
Others claimed the suspect had a history of erratic and violent behavior, including previous altercations with partners and workers. Some alleged that past employees had also left abruptly under unclear circumstances.
Family Holds Out for Justice
Susan’s family is now demanding accountability, insisting they will not proceed with burial arrangements until the suspect is apprehended.
They say the pain of losing their loved one is made worse by the fact that the person responsible has yet to face justice.
