“He was fully clothed, even with his socks. So, he could not have been swimming. So, it is hard to understand the circumstances under which he could have drowned. His body too, has got no visible marks on it. We want to know the exact cause of his death,” Munene's sister Mercy Gichangi stated.

Munene who was a former graduate at the Kenya Institute of mass Communication (KIMC), lived alone at Allsopps area behind Naivas Supermarket and was last seen heading to town on May 9 to meet a friend.

Kilifi South police Chief Joseph Muriuki said that Munene’s body had been retrieved from the ocean. “The body was recorded as unknown. No one knew he was a student,” he said.

Officers from the DCI have started investigations into the death.
