Ten days after her arrival for what she hoped would be a once in a lifetime opportunity, her family was informed that their daughter was in a critical condition after falling while showering, the Nation reported.
However, they read malice when they started getting conflicting accounts of what happened to their daughter.
They were later told she had suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest and lastly, told that she succumbed to COVID-19.
Her body arrived in the country a few days ago and her distraught mother Susan Nzilani is yet to come to terms with Mwanja’s death.
“They have brought a corpse instead of my dear child. My daughter was healthy and I don’t understand what happened when she arrived there,” she said.
The family intends to have a post-mortem conducted on their kin to determine the exact cause of her demise while also calling for the Kenyan and Saudi Arabia authorities to intervene.
