Margaret Kiiru, widow to the late Titus Maina, the man who drowned at Juja Dam alongside a female friend is appealing for help to identify the woman.

She says this will help the family get closure and ensure the woman also gets a decent send-off.

According To Margaret;

"We have not been able to identify the family of the young lady who drowned together with my husband in Juja on Tuesday because when she was retrieved from the dam, she had no identification documents.

 I have no problem getting to know who her family is or who can help us get to know them so that they can also have closure,’’ Ms. Kiiru maintained. 

Margaret previously said the unidentified woman was her husband’s work friend.

 “Although I do not know her, I believe the woman who was with my husband that night was a friend. He had so many friends because of the nature of his business.”

The pair was making merry inside their car which they had parked near the dam before the incident occurred on Tuesday evening last week.

Revelers have been thronging the area for "park and chill" activities while indulging in merry-making.

According to witnesses, an argument broke out between the two and the man ignited the car and reversed into the dam.

Martin Ngugi, a diver, told the Star that they managed to retrieve the body of the middle-aged woman on Tuesday evening but failed to locate the man's body and the car.

However, they managed to locate the man's body and the car on Wednesday morning, Ngugi said.

"We only managed to retrieve the body of the woman. She had tried to swim and had moved towards the bank but didn't make it. We have already located where the car is and the man's body," Ngugi said.

The man's body was finally retrieved on Wednesday and taken to General Kago Funeral Home together with the woman's body.
