Missing KFS legal manager Esther Keige found dead in Juja coffee farm

Her body was discovered inside an isolated coffee plantation in Juja, Kiambu County. The 54-year-old advocate went missing on June 10, 2026, after leaving her office along Kiambu Road.

According to Juja Sub-County Police Commander Isaac Kombo, the body was discovered at Area 4 near Karimenu in Juja. Her brother also confirmed that Wairimu's body was found on Monday. 

Investigators noted that the body was intact but had already begun decomposing. Two family members visited the scene and positively identified the remains.

The body has since been moved to the Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital mortuary pending an autopsy to establish the exact cause of death. 

Students from a local school told police officers that Wairimu was recently seen alive at their school, where she was reportedly seeking help to find food before her body was discovered.

Police confirmed they are currently recording statements from family members to better understand her state of mind and the issues she was facing leading up to her disappearance.
