The untimely death of the 27-year-old shocked her family living in Kayole estate in Naivasha.
Waithera's mother Alice Kamathi expressed her grief over the demise of her second born daughter noting that she supported them financially.
“My first born and I are diabetic, and since my husband died seven years ago, we have relied on my daughter, who has been living in Germany for the last eight years,” she said.

Her brother Samuel Njuguna told journalists that he had contacted the Kenyan embassy in Germany but was instructed to speak to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Njuguna disclosed that Waithera’s friends in Germany told him that his sister was attacked by an unknown man who then fled.
