A UoN student found murdered with hands doused with acid and the body dumped in Mwiki.
The family of Mercy Kwamboka, a student at the University of Nairobi’s Chiromo Campus, who was found murdered and her body dumped in a thicket in Mwiki, is now crying for justice.
Questions have arisen about how the 20-year-old UoN student disappeared from her home in Pipeline at 11 pm after receiving a phone call, and was later found dead in Mwiki.
Her mother Stella Kerubo lamented how Kwamboka’s body was mutilated and the hands doused in acid.
“Na walimtesa sana sababu mguu ilikuwa imevunjwa kama miwa na mikono imemwagiliwa acid,” said Kerubo.
The first witness, whose identity is concealed for his safety, described how he discovered Kwamboka.

“Nilikuja nikapata amelala hapa, hana trouser but ako tu na nguo ya ndani, kuna simu na nyuma ya simu ilikuwa na 1,000 na blanketi na kiatu moja ya black,” said the witness.
It has now emerged that Kwamboka’s kidnappers intended to kill her, as her phone and money were found at the location where her body was discovered.
“Unaona hapa ndio alikuwa anajaribu kuamka atembee but anashindwa, na ni kama kitu ilikuwa imefanyika before aletwe, na gari ilikuja hapa ikaenda na ikarudi tena,” added the witness.
Investigations are ongoing to unravel the mystery of how Kwamboka was murdered and her body dumped in a thicket in Mwiki, Nairobi County.
