2 days ago, I received an appeal for intervention on behalf of the family of Cynthia Nanjala, a 20yr old woman who had barely been in Nairobi for a week, working as a house manager and was now lying dead at the Kenyatta Hospital Morgue. She had been r***d, poisoned and spine broken.
According to the family, the girl had been complaining of sexual abuse by her employer's husband. Her elder sister was called to the hospital just before Cynthia's death, where she alleges her younger sister told her that her boss had r***d her. She had been taken to KNH by a good Samaritan who found her dumped naked in Lunga Lunga.
The family is alleging that the investigations and attitude they are receiving from Embakasi police may not be up-to par because the woman whose husband is the key suspect is an officer with the Kenya Defence Forces. It is also alleged that a key witness, the previous house girl who was handing over to Cynthia may also be missing as her family is unable to trace her since Cynthia died. Her phone has been mteja.
I reached out to IPOA, DCI and Kenya Police. IPOA got back to me and contacted the family. I also made an appeal for media to highlight. Asante to the stations that reached out.
Let us hope that it will not take social media pressure for Cynthia to get justice!
Here is Citizen TV Kenya report on the same.
