Salome met her fate on Monday, February 23, after she was hit by a Prisons Department vehicle and died instantly.
The young woman was on a boda boda heading home when the accident occurred, leaving her family in shock and unimaginable pain.
Her relatives spoke emotionally after the incident, struggling to come to terms with her sudden death.
“Salome was my niece. I received a call from the landlord around 8:30 pm. I did not know the landlord, but from the way we spoke, I began to accept what had happened. He asked me if I had a relative by the name Salome, and I confirmed. He told me she was heading home from Kisongo, Tanzania, after finishing her errands. Around the airport area, she found a queue of the Prisons Department vehicles. I was told that one of the vehicles had brake failure and hit them from behind. That is how he explained it to me,” said Gamaliel, Salome’s uncle.
Did police visit Salome’s family?
Police officers picked up Salome’s body and took it to the mortuary following the tragic incident.
However, Gamaliel noted that the family had not received any support from the police after the accident, saying only Good Samaritans had come to their aid.
“They have not even sent anyone to our home to offer condolences or stand with the family during this difficult time. I noticed there was something the police seemed to know among themselves that we probably do not know. According to them, the boda boda rider was trying to overtake when the accident happened.
There are many plans ahead of us. We have to decide how we will lay Salome to rest. In the meantime, there are several things to consider and work out, including seeking justice,” he added.
