Cecilia said her daughter called her back expressing her anxiety to finally leave her home and be able to support her three children.
Nyambura, 34, had been feeling over-dependent as they all lived together with her mother in the Kiwanja area of Ruiru.
“She said how bad she felt for not being able to secure a job in the country and barely supporting her children,” the mother said.
The next morning on July 27 as she was going to work, the mother received a call from a stranger asking her to go where her daughter had been murdered.
“I found her dead, her body lying outside near her sister’s house,” the mother said tearfully.
Nyambura had left her home accompanied by her boyfriend to go visit her sister, Hannah, at her home near Kahawa West.
They spent the day together before leaving in the evening. Earlier, she had accompanied her eldest child who is in Form 2 to school.
In the morning, Hannah said a neighbour woke her up telling her that her sister was lying outside near her house, bleeding.
“She was not moving and I figured that she could be dead already. So I rushed to check with her boyfriend what had happened since I had left them together only to find him missing,” Hannah said.
The family took the body to Kenyatta Memorial Funeral Home where it is expected to undergo an autopsy later this week.
The matter was reported at the Kasarani police station.
