29-year-old Monica Nyawira Kimani who was found murdered at her house in Luciane apartments on Kitale Lane, off Dennis Pritt road.
An unidentified man wearing a white ‘kanzu’ visited the 28-year-old woman whose body was later found in a bathtub with her throat slit.

The man is said to have identified himself as a pastor but did not record his details with the watchmen at the gate to the Lamuria Gardens apartments along Nairobi’s Dennis Pritt Road.
Two other men who had also visited Monicah Nyawira Kimani in her house on Wednesday night had signed off as Owen and Joe.
According to police and neighbours, the men found a white man in the house with Ms Kimani.
The man, believed to be a neighbour, later excused himself to allow the two men, believed to have been known to Kimani, to talk with her. It was then that the visitor in a white ‘kanzu’ walked in.
Kimani had just returned from Juba in South Sudan.
She was dropped at her apartment at about 7:15pm. She picked up some clothes she had ordered dropped and her house keys from the gate and went into her apartment number A8 on the third floor.
According to her father, Paul Ngarama, the 28-year-old was supposed to fly to Dubai on Friday to meet her fiancé.
Her body was discovered by her brother, George Kimani, in a bathtub last Thursday. Her killers apparently left the house unnoticed.
“Her hands were tied at the back and the water was still running,” he said.
Detectives from Kilimani Police Station are yet to talk to the white man who was in the house with Kimani before she was killed.
They are also looking for the two men who signed off as Owen and Joe at the gate and are yet to establish the identity of the man in a white ‘kanzu.’

Two men visited the 28-year-old woman whose body was later found in a bathtub,with the throat slit in her apartment in Nairobi.

According to the family of the late Monicah Nyawira Kimani, the men were not strangers to their daughter as she introduced them by name to a neighbour before she ushered them into the apartment.

Inside the house, George Thiru, Monicah’s bother who was among the first people to reach her apartment in Lamuria Gardens, were two glass wines while a yellow bag with a piece of bread, ajera an Ethiopian delicacy, was hanging at the main door.

According to Thiru, the chapatti-like bread had not been broken; it was apparent the killers had walked through the front door, locked their victim inside and carried her house and car keys.

When I arrived at the house on Thursday night at around 11pm, I talked to a neighbour who told me he had seen two men who my sister introduced by name. The name given of one of the men was familiar,” Thiru said.

He added that although nothing seemed to have been stolen from the house, he could not trace the dress her sister had collected immediately she arrived from Juba on Wednesday evening.

“She had ordered the dress for her birthday that falls on October 10. She was planning a big bash for her birthday and had even booked a tent to accommodate about 100 people.

She had finalised arrangements for décor and was in the process of picking the venue in Thika,” he added.

Grief stricken

When the Sunday Standard visited the grief stricken family yesterday in Thika’s Landless Estate, the father, Bishop Paul Ngarama of Rebuilding Apostolic Faith Mission church, explained that his family had been unable to follow up with the witness who had talked to the people who last saw her daughter.

“When we returned after taking Monica’s body to Chiromo, the guards at Lamuria Gardens were reluctant to let us in. When we told them we wanted to talk to the neighbour, they told us that he had moved,” said the father.

However when we enquired from the agent whose contacts are listed on the billboard outside the apartments, we were informed that there was no vacancy in block A, third floor, where Monica was staying.

Thiru recalled that when he last called his sister on Wednesday at around 630pm, their conversation was very brief.

“She informed me that she had just landed at JKIA and was in a Taxify cab headed to her apartment along Denis Pritt Road. She told me to disconnect as she wanted to attend to another incoming call. When I tried to call her later, she did not answer.

Thiru said that later at around 9pm, on the fateful Wednesday, he sent her a message of WhatsApp but it went unattended. This he says was strange as her house had Wifi.

Their father said he last spoke to Monica a week ago and she did not sound like she was in any sort of trouble.

According to Thiru, Monica was initially not supposed to be in Nairobi until yesterday, as there had been a mix up when she was booking her flight to Juba and back.

“She had to pay an additional 300 dollars to change her ticket so that she could fly on Wednesday. She was keen to return to Nairobi as she was supposed to fly to Dubai for a holiday,” said Thiru.

He added,” In fact she was to return back from her holiday on September 28. Sadly, this was never to be and this is the day we are planning to bury her."

The family, which is still trying to come to terms with the gruesome murder said there was no business rivalry, and neither did Monica owe any debt as all the Milly Paul General Trading Family business financial aspects were handled by Thiru.

“We do not know who did this to her and why. Her house was in disarray, showing that there was a struggle - as if somebody was looking for something. However, all her phones and other valuables appeared to be intact,” Thiru said.

The family said they are still grappling with some of the most burning questions, chief among them the mystery of the men who visited their daughter and what happened to the clothes she picked.

Seeking answers

They are also seeking answers, on why the killers took the house and car keys and what the motive could have been since nothing was stolen and the intruders had not broken into the house.

But even as they desperately search for these answers, including the puzzle of the CCTV cameras which had no recordings of the fateful night, the family now has to contend with the departure of a daughter and sister they describe as being very creative and innovative, and a key plank to her business in Sudan.

By the time of going to press the police had not made any arrests although there were indications that they were pursuing some leads that could unmask the killers.

It’s either love or money matters…

Alikuwa ana plan birthday this coming october for 100 people in attendance. Sijui alikuwa ana turn nini.

She seems like someone with a lot of ‘businesses’

Her FB page though reveals a decent person who worked hard and her way up in the foreign envoy’s career path (past posts at foreign ministry etc)to where she was when she met her demise. If so, may her killers never have peace

The truth is, people never kill without a motive. There is a story that we don’t know which may have caused her death. For most of these “international women of mystery”, I suspect that she was a drug mule. If she knew the visitors, as the article states, I would suspect drugs.

Yeap, people don’t just walk in your house and kill you. Kama ilikuwa burglary gone wrong, the signs would be there.
Hypocrisy is what is ailing us, we know our siblings well, and what they are upto. Lakini huwa tunanyamaza.

On why they took the house and car keys puzzle?

Maybe it’s the person who bought her that repossessed the items

Even burglars know that murder is a serious crime. They don’t kill unless pushed beyond limit.

I know, but at times things get out of hand, same with car jacking.
Lakini ya huyu, all the 3 men seems like they were known to her. Familia ya huyu mrembo knows what’s up.

Exactly. Burglers, carjackers etc rob from strangers. Probably a business deal gone bad.

@patco what i am supposed read or see here…there is nothing touching on what we were talking.

ni update tu. sijasema case has been busted wide open.

Niaje witnesser?

being a parent can at times be complex, suppose as a parent you know your daughter is involved in ‘not so good biashara’ there is nothing much you can do maybe talk to them, wakikata kusikiza all you can do is pray and hope that they change - the worst would be parents who encourage their kids to get into risky situations just because they are benefiting from the same.

Always make it clear mtoi akipata I.d apambane na hali yake.

i doubt the intention of tagging me was to update me…wewe ni sadist.

true, an adult should know they can make decisions and the same have consequences - lakini at the end of the day, if your child dies before you its always sad and very hard on a parent, there is that inbuilt feeling that you are supposed to protect your kids no matter the age - and if they happen to pass on before you, especially if they happen to be killed a parent always has a feeling of failing to protect, it depends on the situation but there is that niggling feeling that you could have helped in some way.
