Nominated Kirinyaga MCA Lucy Njeri has disclosed that her 23-year-old daughter, who was killed last Monday, was strangled.
Speaking to the media on Sunday, October 20, Njeri disclosed that her daughter, Seth Nyakio Njeri, had visible injuries on the neck.
Her lifeless body was discovered at a rented house in Thika, Kiambu County, where the politician went and recognised her.
"I saw visible injuries on the neck. My daughter laid peacefully and you could even think we were talking to each other because the spirit had not departed from me. And she was the one," Njeri remarked.
Nyakio went missing on Saturday, October 12, after she left her home in Kamakis, Kiambu County, to visit a friend in Thika town.

Njeri said that Nyakio was in a jovial mood and the two talked until Sunday before she later tried to reach out to her without success.
On Monday, October 14, the nominated MCA received a call notifying her that her daughter had been killed. She then notified the police.
According to the police, the Zetech University graduate was defiled by her killers before being strangled.
Njeri is now seeking justice for her murdered daughter, who was her only child.
"It was murder and so many other shocking things that no parent would have liked to have passed the pain my daughter has died with. And also the trauma and shock I have been left with. I loved her so much. For now I don't have any child. I had only her," Njeri remarked.
Police are investigating the matter.
