Salome met her fate on Monday, February 23, after being hit by a Prison Department vehicle and died instantly.
The young woman was in a boda boda on her way home when the accident happened, leaving her family in shock and indescribable pain.
His relatives spoke emotionally after the incident, struggling to accept his sudden death.
“Salome was my niece. I received a call from the owner of the house at about 8:30 at night. I didn’t know the owner of the house, but from the way we talked, I started to accept what happened. He asked me if I have a relative named Salome, and I confirmed. He told me he was on his way home from Kisongo, Tanzania, after finishing his work. Near the airport, he found a queue of cars from the Department of Prisons. I was told that one of the cars had a broken brake and hit them from back. This is how he explained it to me,” said Gamaliel, Salome’s uncle.
Did the police visit Salome’s family?
Police officers took Salome’s body to the mortuary following the tragic incident.
However, Gamaliel noted that the family had not received any help from the police after the accident, saying that only Good Samaritans came to help them.
“They haven’t sent anyone to our house to offer condolences or stand with the family at this difficult time. I noticed that the police seemed to know something among them that maybe we don’t. According to them, the boda boda rider was trying to pass when the accident happened.
There are many plans ahead of us. We have to decide how we will bury Salome. At the same time, there are several things to consider and work on, including seeking justice,” he added.
