Police in Embakasi are probing a bizarre incident in which a woman was found dead in her house in Nyayo Estate.

The body of the 78-year-old woman identified as Catherine Kibara was found on her bed after her family reported her missing.

Her kin reported her missing after 3 weeks of silence, something that was so much unlike her.

Kibara’s relative gained forceful entry into her house on Monday after failing to reach her on her phone, which went unanswered in the several attempts they tried calling her.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the woman was on a fasting and prayer mission that started on May 18, 2022.

Kibara’s fasting schedule police found at the scene informed the police's conclusion that she may have died of starvation.

However, police say a post-mortem will be conducted on the deceased to ascertain the exact cause of death.

Police also said there was a possibility that the deceased had died earlier than the day her body was discovered.
