Lydia Tokesi had recently taken a bank loan to purchase a motor vehicle for her boyfriend, Joseph Orwa, who is now the prime suspect in her murder. Orwa, who operated the car as a taxi in Nairobi, has also gone missing, adding layers of complexity to the investigation. The vehicle was found in Rongai, with all of Tokesi’s belongings, including her laptop, intact, indicating that the motive might not have been robbery.
Her brother, Daniel Shikoli, spoke to the press, detailing the gruesome discovery, “The state of the body was so bad. You couldn’t really identify it. It was missing some parts. It was found in a thicket. We’re waiting for the DNA tests to know if that body is Lydia’s.”
The police have launched a full-scale investigation into her death, with a particular focus on her relationship with Orwa.
Tokesi was employed as a customer service experience officer at Kasha Technologies.
As the investigation continues, authorities are appealing for any information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect. The community has rallied, sharing memories of Tokesi and calling for swift justice in what appears to be a case of betrayal and violence.
