Dagoretti North MP Beatrice Elachi has revealed that her son died after being involved in a car accident.
Speaking during the requiem mass of Elvis Murakana on Friday, March 28, Elachi detailed that her son had left the house around 10 pm to run some errands.
The MP added that Murakana had completed his errands and was heading back home when his car got a tyre burst. In the process, he engaged the emergency brakes.

"He was in bed at 10:30 pm. He was called to run an errand. He rushed and did it well. When he was coming back, he got a tyre burst with the car. Young people do not know that when you are driving any car and it gets a tyre burst, do not engage the emergency brakes.
"The car will skid. What you just do is try to hold the steering wheel and ensure that you control the car. So in that, his brain moved that is what succumbed him," she disclosed.
Meanwhile, she thanked those who had supported her and the family during the demise of their son.
She called on parents to pray for their children, noting that many young people were going through challenges.
"But one thing I will tell you, he loved this church. And even when I come to church, if you ask the people of Holy Trinity, I've never come as Mheshimiwa," Elachi added.
"Prayer sustains. My spiritual mum will tell you before you walk out the door, remember to pray and tell God to open doors for you and to bring you back safe."
