Samuel Ngure: Body of man who disappeared 3 weeks ago found at City Mortuary

The body of a man who went missing three weeks ago has been found at the Nairobi City Mortuary.

Samuel Ngure, who disappeared on the 23rd of last month, was involved in an accident along Magadi Road, with his family only confirming that he was dead on Friday after Citizen TV highlighted his plight on Sunday.

"I'm so exhausted, but at least I've seen my son. He was a graduate," said Peterson Njeru, Ngure’s father.

Tears and sorrow marked the faces of the family after they viewed the body of their son.

"He is in pieces. His head has been cut off, the right leg is broken, and the left side of the head is cut. He must have gone through a lot of pain," Ngure’s mother Keziah Wanjiku said.

To understand how he was brought to the City Mortuary, Citizen TV arrived at Lang’ata Police Station after being informed that the station recorded the death, and found Noah Wafula, who runs a tree nursery on Magadi Road, that leads to Rongai. 

He showed Samuel Ngure's alleged accident site.

"Alikuwa na trouser ya kaki na alikuwa na majeraha kwa kichwa,” he said.

Witnesses, including Zakariah Njaramba, a boda boda rider, recounted the incident on the 23rd of June saying Ngure was hit by a matatu.

"He (matatu driver) hit him and tried to escape. We held him with stones, and he came back to carry him and take him to the hospital,” Njaramba said.

Samuel Ngure's family has transported his body from the City Mortuary to Uplands, Kiambu County.

"He is not an unidentified body. He is our son. We love him even in death,” Ngure's father added.
