Happily Never After
[SIZE=6]Retracing Rhoda Mumbi’s Last Steps:[/SIZE]
Along with her husband, Nicholas Koskei, Rhoda Mumbi set out towards Gillgil. Nicholas, was turning 36, and had decided to celebrate his birthday in style by traveling with his wife out of town.
Mumbi had two boy children, one aged 2 and the other 4 years at that time. She left them under the care of her elder sister to fully embrace this moment since Nicholas rarely took her out.

[SIZE=6]Rhoda Mumbi: Last Seen with Nicholas Korir Koskei:[/SIZE]
Their final destination was Jacaranda Elementaita Hotel, where they would celebrate Nicholas’ big day while resolving their marital differences. They arrived later that afternoon and had drinks by the poolside. As night fell, they were seen heading to their room.
Later that night, Mumbi was found naked inside their hotel’s bathtub, dead. Though Nicholas claimed that Mumbi had accidentally drowned in the bathtub, hints have pointed towards a pre-meditated murder.

[SIZE=5]Police Investigations – No Trial 2 Years Later![/SIZE]
The death looked suspicious to the police. Investigations revealed that Nicholas had previously visited the Jacaranda Elementaita Hotel.
During these re-visits, he would have noted the lack of CCTV Surveillance Cameras and distance of the cottages they were staying in, from the reception. During a reservation call made by Nicholas, he insisted for a room with a tub like Mumbi loved.
He later claimed that he had been out jogging as his wife drown in the bathtub. Suspiciously the soaps were intact and the bathroom floors were dry showing that there was indication of anyone taking a bath.
He later changed his statements stating that Mumbi was an ardent drug addict and abused sleeping pills but the post mortem report did not show such. He allegedly even tried to sway the pathologist to conceal certain facts.
Upon arrest and arraignment Koskei then pretended to be mentally unstable and confessed to have killed his wife for ‘love’.
[SIZE=5]Autopsy to Determine Nature and Cause of Rhoda Mumbi’s Death:[/SIZE]
Post-moterm examinations were conducted by 3 independent pathologists representing the government, Mumbi’s kin and Nicholas Kosgei.
The goal was to determine the nature and cause of Mumbi’s death. Since 2017 and two years later, the trial has not yet begun.

Luckily, her parents accorded her some dignity in death, they were not like Mary Kamangaras family who are willing to give the cause of murder of their daughter, their daughters body to bury hiding under a facade of he was her ‘loving’ husband. Rhodas parents laid her to rest in her father’s home. In Chuka. Merus are very dignified people.
