The mother of Ivy Wangeci said that she brought up Wangechi in a Godly way and until her demise, she was a staunch follower of the PCEA Church.
“She worshipped at Makongeni PCEA Church whenever she was at home. She was a God-fearing, polite and respectful young woman. Again she wasn’t sick as purported by some of the bloggers on their social media platforms,” she said.
She also dispelled rumours that were doing rounds on some social media sites that her daughter depended on individuals with deep pockets to finance her education and live a lavish lifestyle.
The body of a slain medical student who was hacked to death by a man claiming to be her lover was on Thursday handed over to the family who transferred it to Kenyatta University Funeral Home.
John King’ori, Wangechi’s uncle, said that they are expecting over 2,000 people to attend the burial noting that her demise has already attracted a lot of public interests and therefore her burial might be attended by many Kenyans.
King’ori said that the family is currently financially strained and cannot solely meet the expenses of the burial and therefore is calling on well-wishers to assist the family give their beloved daughter a befitting send-off.
“We are expecting a lot of people to attend the burial ceremony and of course this comes with a lot of expenses which we currently cannot be able to meet. We have already introduced a pay bill number to Kenyans and we hope to get support from well-wishers,” King’ori said.
The pay bill number is 855050 under ‘Ivy Wangechi send-off’ and the account number is the name of the well-wisher.
