A family in Mombasa is mourning the death of their six loved ones who perished in a road accident along Mombasa Nairobi highway.
The six include Mr Martin Mutua Maura (41), Mr Denis Rono Kivuva (24), Mr Felix Mulu Mutiso (24), Mr Charles Mainga Mukumi (21), and Mr Mike Ndolo Mukumi (30) died on the spot while Ms Faith Mukeli (28) succumbed to injuries while being taken to Mtito Andei Hospital.
The deceased were traveling from Kitui to Mombasa on Sunday night when the unfortunate occurred.They were going to a family traditional wedding in Mombasa.
The car they were traveling in collided with an on coming truck.
Sylvester Makalu who lost wife,two brothers and two cousins said even though he was against his siblings attendance of the traditional wedding,his dad pleaded with him to let his wife attend the ceremony.
“So I gave in with a heavy heart. I even contemplated not giving her money for transport as an excuse but it never worked. They all wanted to go for the ceremony,” he said in Nyali.
He called his brothers and wife and none answered his call.This is when he got worried and tried to reach his relative, a police officer in Mtito Andei who confirmed they had involved in an accident.
“He confirmed that they had been involved in an accident but he refused to give me details. He just told me “Sorry” and added that I should go to Voi to get more information. I called my brother Mike, but a stranger received the call and told me he would call back. I called back again and he told me to go to Voi,” said the father of two.
The five bodies were taken to Voi County Hospital Mortuary and one is at Makindu mortuary.
