Jane Kamene will never forget the phone call that changed her life forever. What started as a normal check-in with her children turned into a painful nightmare that no parent should experience.
On that day, Jane decided to call two of her children to see how they were doing. One answered and said they were fine. But when she called her daughter Mary Syombua, the call was picked by a stranger. The man on the other end calmly introduced himself as a police officer. He asked Jane to go to the police station immediately, without explaining much.
Confused and worried, Jane rushed to the station, hoping everything would be okay. Instead, she received the worst news of her life. The police informed her that her daughter, 20-year-old Mary Syombua, had passed away.

“Woi Mary, mtoto wangu, nani alikutendea haya?” Jane cried, struggling to accept that her young daughter was gone. Friends and relatives described Mary as a quiet, hardworking and hopeful young woman who had her whole life ahead of her.
The family says many questions remain unanswered. They want to know what exactly happened inside the apartment and who was responsible for Mary’s condition before she collapsed. Jane says she wants justice for her daughter and hopes the truth will come out.
The grieving family has shared their painful story with Tuko as they appeal to the authorities to conduct thorough investigations. They also hope Mary’s death will not be ignored or forgotten.
As Jane mourns her daughter, she clings to memories of Mary’s smile and dreams. Her story is a reminder of how fragile life can be, and the deep pain families go through when a loved one dies suddenly.
