Moreover, the worried family made calls to all her relatives, including her boyfriend, over her disappearance.
“Nyamasia lives alone, and her boyfriend lives in his house in a different part of the city. We contacted him, but he said he had no idea that she had gone missing,” said her father.
This prompted the family to report a missing person at Villa Police station.
At the moment, the family, which is yet to come to terms with the demise of their kin, is preparing for her sendoff.
“Those are the sad news we have received from the police today. We have nothing more to say. We are mourning her death,” said Kipkoech.
