Her family members recount unsuccessfully looking for the deceased in different hospitals including Avenue, Aga Khan, MP Shah hospitals.

According to her cousin Camillus who spoke to the Nation, they finally located her remains at the Chiromo Mortuary.

โ€œWe stayed there just waiting until 2am when some of her friends who had followed two ambulances to Chiromo Mortuary came back and asked us to accompany them as they had seen what looked like her body.

We went to the mortuary and since some of her friends were still there, they showed us the body they thought was hers but we were in denial until we saw a birth mark,โ€ he said.

Her father Mzeeย Vitalis Odhiambo Konjalo spoke toย eDailyย and recounts asking her siblings to go search for her after his calls to the deceased went unanswered.

The last born of four siblings has been eulogized as a brave, kind and giving person who did not hesitate to pay her cousinsโ€™ and siblings school fees.
