Missing City Hall intern and a KCA University student found dead after a long search of 23 days.
The body of Elvis Munene, the City Hall intern and a KCA University student, has been found at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) after a long search of 23 days without a trace.
After his disappearance on January 29, 2025, Citizen TV highlighted Munene’s family’s agony of looking for their son.
Munene left home for the City Hall Annex, IT department, where he was an intern. Citizen TV has now learnt that his close friend Keith Chacha made a call to him while he was leaving the City Hall Annex.
According to messages exchanged between Chacha and a family member, the two men had ventured downtown to purchase a phone cover.
During this outing, they were confronted by police officers who detained Chacha, handcuffing him.
However, Elvis managed to escape the scene, only to be captured by an alleged mob at the junction of Kirinyaga Road and Charles Rubia Road and attacked around 5pm and 7:30pm.
Eyewitness reports suggest that police officers arrived shortly after, rescuing Elvis from the mob and calling for an ambulance.
“Ilikuwa tu masaa ya 6 jioni hapo, walikuwa vijana wanne wakiteremka pale na wote walikuwa marafiki. Wakati wakizozana nikaenda zangu, kurudi nilipata amepigwa,” said a boda boda rider, Charles Kamande.
Another witness, Edward Mwangi, added: “Huyo jamaa walisnatch simu hapa chini, akakuja akitaka kutoroka hivi juu watu wakamshika wakamchapa. Polisi wakakuja, wakakataza watu kumchapa, ambulance ikakuja, ikamchukua wakaenda. Hatujui waliendaje.”
Elvis was then transported to the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), where he received immediate medical attention.
Despite efforts to stabilize him, Elvis was later admitted to the ICU, where he succumbed to his injuries two days later, on Sunday. His body was transferred to the KNH mortuary.
The family, unaware of Elvis’s whereabouts during this time, continued their search until Thursday evening, February 20, when they discovered his body in the mortuary.
