He er colleagues at NITA where she was working as an accountant said it was unusual that she hadn’t reported to work for two days and her phone was still off.

Joyce Jepkemoi filed a missing person report. The deceased’s family and friends ended up at the city mortuary on March 24, positively identifying her body through her clothes and hairstyle.

The family is demanding justice from the authorities as they await an autopsy to be conducted.

“We have arrested three suspects who are aiding in investigations. So far we have analysed phone data and we are piecing together more information to unravel the circumstances surrounding her death. We already know she was murdered, what we want to establish is by who and the motive behind her killing.”
