The tragic death of Seth Nyakio Njeri, a 23-year-old graduate from Zetech University, has shocked many, as it marks another horrific case of violence against women. Seth’s body was found in a rented house in the Biafra area of Thika, Kiambu County, on Monday, after her family had reported her missing over the weekend.
Seth had left her family home in Kamakis, Ruiru, on Saturday in good spirits, according to her mother. The two stayed in touch throughout the weekend, but communication ceased on Sunday, sparking concern. When her calls and messages went unanswered, Seth’s family initiated a search, but their worst fears were realized when a friend called on Monday to deliver the devastating news of her death.
Preliminary investigations suggest that Seth was strangled, and police suspect she may have been sexually assaulted before her death. Her lifeless body was found unclothed at the scene, leading authorities to zero in on a male friend as the prime suspect. It is believed that the suspect upset over a recent breakup, tracked Seth down and lured her to the house where the crime occurred.
However, Seth’s parents challenge this narrative. They believe that the friend Seth was visiting holds critical information about the events that led to her death. Investigations are ongoing as authorities seek justice for Seth.
The murder of Seth Nyakio Njeri is a devastating reminder of the violence that continues to plague women in the country. As investigations unfold, her family is left grappling with the loss of a promising young woman whose life was cut short in such a brutal manner.
