Beaty Wanjiru Nyaga, who until his sudden death was a teacher at Ithiga ria Njuki Primary School in Riagiceru area, is reported missing on Monday, March 9.
After the family made great efforts to search for him for two days without success, they received sad news on Thursday, March 12, when they were informed that Beaty’s body had been found in the Nyamindi River in Mwea East Sub-County.
The local chief, Immaculate Wanjiru, told Citizen TV that the young teacher may have been killed elsewhere before being thrown into the river to hide the heinous crime.
What did Beaty’s girlfriend say to her father?
Beaty’s father, Jeremiah Nyaga, told the police that he received a call at midnight from a man named Peter Kanumbi, who claimed to be his daughter’s boyfriend.
He allegedly told her that Beaty had been found unconscious in Mugomoini and that he needed immediate help.
Kanumbi then hung up and disappeared.
Police officers are looking for him as the main suspect in the murder of the 28-year-old JSS teacher.
The family urged the investigators to speed up the investigation and bring all the suspects to justice.
“We want justice for Beaty, and we ask the police to help us. We also ask citizens who may have information to share it with the police,” said Sarah Njeri, her cousin.
Beaty is survived by one child.
Njeri described her as a dedicated teacher and a loving mother.
