Fridah Warau Kamuyu, the lady who drowned in a dam at Juja, Kiambu County alongside business man Titus Maina has been laid to rest.

Unlike her 'lovers' eulogy, hers contained where she was born and a brief description of who she was as a young girl.

A program of the burial ceremony says Kamuyu was born in Kagwanja, Mathioya, Murang’a County and raised alongside four siblings.

“Fridah was brought up well by her parents, she was an obedient girl,” the eulogy reads,  adding that she was baptized at ACK St Paul Kagwana Church in 2006.

After completing high school in 2019, the family says Kamuyu enrolled for a course in Hotel Catering and Management.

“God gave us Fridah and has taken her away,” the family added.

Kamuyu, 23, died after a car she was in with Titus Kiiru, a 39-year-old Kiambu businessman, plunged into a dam at Titanic area on January 18.

On the fateful day, Kamuyu and Kiiru are reported to have been together inside a Nissan X-trail vehicle which they had parked at the edge of the dam that is a popular hangout spot for revelers.

The vehicle would however plunge into the dam at around 7 pm under unclear circumstances.

Kamuyu, who was the first to be retrieved from the dam, could not be immediately identified since she had no identification documents in her possession.

She was only identified more than a week later after the police took her finger prints.

Kiiru was identified by his family soon after the vehicle was retrieved from the water and images that clearly showed the car’s registration number were shared in the media.

Kamuyu's sister had earlier appealed for help to enable her travel back to Kenya from Saudi Arabia.
