Nation reports that what began as friendly chats between the young woman from Naivasha and the stranger soon blossomed into a romantic relationship filled with promise.
When did Moraa’s lover come to Kenya?
By mid-2024, the man travelled to Kenya to be with her, a gesture that convinced Moraa and those close to her that the relationship was serious and headed towards a shared future.

The couple later moved into a house in Kinamba, Naivasha, valued at KSh 8.6 million. To Moraa, it was not just a house but a symbol of stability and commitment a place she believed was their home together.
Family members in Kisii recall her speaking with optimism, describing a life that finally seemed to be falling into place.
For months, there were no visible signs that anything was amiss. Moraa appeared happy, hopeful and deeply invested in the relationship.
When did Moraa disappear?
But in December 2025, that sense of certainty unravelled abruptly when she went missing, setting off frantic searches by her family, who struggled to understand how a young woman with clear plans for the future could simply vanish.
For days, hope clung on, until December 17 when the family received a call that would change everything. They were asked to go to the Naivasha Sub-County Hospital mortuary.
There, they identified Moraa’s body. At first, the death was recorded as a road accident. But a post-mortem examination revealed a far more disturbing reality.
Moraa had died from internal bleeding caused by blunt-force trauma. She had broken ribs and visible injuries to her face, hands and legs, findings that confirmed her death was not accidental.
When was Moraa buried?
For her family, grief was compounded by shock and disbelief. As they tried to come to terms with the loss, more questions emerged.
The British man, who had been a central figure in Moraa’s life, promised to attend her funeral and contributed towards burial expenses.
Yet when Moraa was laid to rest on January 23, he was nowhere to be seen. Shortly afterwards, he left the country.
His absence has left Moraa’s family with a profound sense of betrayal and a trail of unanswered questions.
“We trusted him because she trusted him,” one relative said quietly. “Now she is gone, and we are left with silence.”

Memories of Agnes Wanjiru
Moraa’s story has reignited painful memories of another case that has haunted Kenya for more than a decade: the killing of Agnes Wanjiru in 2012.
Agnes, a young mother, disappeared after being last seen with a British soldier stationed at the British Army Training Unit in Nanyuki.
Her body was later found in a septic tank at the hotel where she had been last seen. Inquests later indicated that Agnes had been beaten and stabbed, and that British personnel were implicated.
Despite these findings, justice has remained elusive for her family, who have spent years seeking accountability.
