The death of Charity Muthoni Maina who was raped and
murdered near Talai on Saturday night left all the students of Moi University
Main Campus mourn in bitterness.
Charity was a third year student in the school of arts and
social sciences until the time she passed away. It was realized very late that
is on Sunday morning when her body was found in a bush near one of the stage
residential. The lady was attacked while she was coming from the Christian
fellowship and she was almost getting to her place. From the look of things,
the lady was strangled to suffocation before the guys raped her. After the act,
they left her body naked with all her belongings. Her handbag which contained
her notebooks, a bible, mobile phone and other personal items laid beside her
untouched.
On Sunday morning, the news of her death went viral and the
ocpd from Kesses police station came for the body that later on had to
transport her to mortuary for post mortem as investigations begin. The mood in
the campus was not normal as everyone was worried of their safety. Everyone
felt sorry her family and her community and sent their condolences right from
the vice chancellor, school management, technical staff and colleagues.
“God why me…? Why did you choose only me…why my daughter?
She is the only daughter and my hope. I love her so much and she is the last
born and she is the one I was left with in the family. Her father passed away
recently and the memories are still on my mind yet this has followed.” The
mother sobbed as the dean of students tried to comfort her in vain.
Plans for her burial are ongoing in the campus and
contributions towards her funeral are done. The police report over the
investigations are waited eagerly to capture the culprits. On the other hand
the students are demanding for beefing up of security in the campus and its
environs and also the university to look for a way they will cater for
accommodation of all students inside the campus premises.
