A 77-year-old Kenyan lecturer, William Kamau, his wife and their two daughters have died in a fatal motor accident.
It was gathered that the family died after their vehicle collided head-on with a matatu at Kamirithu area in Limuru, Kiambu County on Monday, November 1.
Kamau, his wife Jane Njoki, 69, their daughters Rhoda Njeri, 40, and Evelyn Waithera, 32, were heading to Nakuru for a burial when the accident occurred.
Waithera, a lecturer at the Kenya Medical Training College in Nairobi, was the one driving during the journey that ended tragically around 8pm.
Kamau’s adult nephew, who was a passenger, sustained serious injuries and was taken to the PCEA Kikuyu Hospital.
The five were en route to Nakuru from Nairobi. They were to attend the burial of Waithera’s in-law in Nakuru.
The couples niece Mwaniki said “Kamau, who was ailing, and his spouse Njoki relocated to Nairobi from Murang’a last year so that he could get uninterrupted medical attention,”.
The couple’s other daughter, Njeri, who also died in the crash, was an employee of a private hospital in Murang’a Town.
The survivor, a youthful man, is a university student, family said.
