Details have emerged how veteran journalist Rita Tinina was found dead in her house In Kileleshwa, Nairobi.
Rita Tinina was supposed to be on duty at NTV where she worked but failed to report.
This prompted the managers at his place of work to go to the house where the body was found.

Tinina was to wake up by 8 am and prepare for work as she was to produce the 1 pm bulletin.
But she had not woken up by 9 am which prompted her to knock at her bedroom with no response. Luckily, Tinina had not locked the door from inside.
The house girl called her but there was no response. By then, Tinina’s nine-year-old girl was watching television in the living room.
The house girl said she touched Tinina and realized she was unresponsive.
She realized she was dead. It was then she called one of the family friends who was last with Tinina on Saturday night.
The friend arrived and also confirmed she was unresponsive and picked the daughter to keep her away from the scene.
The house girl told police she knew the friend was to pick the girl on Sunday to play with her as planned with Tinina.
It was then that police were informed.
