Form Two student found dead in a thicket after she failed to return home from school.
According to the family, the student identified as Beauty Njoki left home at around 5.30 am on June 4, saying that she was going to school, only for her not to return home on that ill-fated day.
In an interview with Nation, Naomi Wanjiku, Njoki’s mother, described waiting for her daughter to return home that evening without success, prompting her to start searching for the girl.
“The following day, I called one of her uncles and requested him to visit the aunt’s place to confirm if she slept there. However, she was not there,” she painfully narrated.
“I received information that she did not report to school on Tuesday. Her friends said the teachers were also worried as she never missed any classes.”
After learning that her daughter did not arrive at school, Njoki’s mother filed a missing person report at Maili Saba Police Station.
After filing a report about her daughter’s disappearance, Wanjiku worked with her neighbours to search for Njoki.

Their search led them to a nearby thicket, just a few meters from their home, where they discovered Njoki’s lifeless body.
“After searching the area, we first found her shoes, a few meters away lay her school uniform and we knew she was just within. We discovered her body at a nearby thicket.”
Wanjiku later discovered that her daughter had been attacked by unknown assailants while on her way to school.
They assaulted and murdered her before abandoning her body in a bush.
Nakuru police chief Josephine Wambui stated that they had apprehended one of the suspects believed to be responsible for Njoki’s death.
She further mentioned that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) had been given a seven-day deadline to conclude their investigations and conduct a DNA test on the suspect.
