The body of a 19 years old girl who went missing on Wednesday has been found at the Portreiz hospital.

Najma Abdullahi went missing after seeing off a friend who had visited their home in Changamwe area in Mombasa County.

According to the deceased's sister Effrah Abdullahi,Najma did her KCSE exams in March at Karima girls where she got a B plain.

She then came to Mombasa where she was staying with her.

On the fateful day, Najma left the house at around 4 PM so as to see off a friend.

"I talked to her at around 6 and she told me that she was on her way back home. But by 7 pm, her phone was off and we could not trace her," Effrah said.

After days of searching,the family came to learn of Najma's whereabouts in Portreiz after they were informed of an unknown person brought to the hospital by the police.

Family lawyer Derrick Odhiambo said preliminary reports indicate Najma was found along Bonje road while unconscious.

"Reports indicate that its the police who actually took her to Portreiz hospital.She however succumbed hours later," Odhiambo said.
