Before the identification of Kamuyu’s body, Kiiru’s wife had pleaded that the public helps her identify the woman who died the family of the woman who died alongside her husband.

"We have not been able to identify the family of the young lady who drowned together with my husband in Juja on Tuesday because when she was retrieved from the dam, she had no identification documents. I have no problem getting to know who her family is or who can help us get to know them so that they can also have closure,’’ Ms Kiiru told the Nation.

Kiiru will be laid to rest on Friday, January 27, 2023.
