What Really Caused Mother and Daughter to Perish in the Water The Likoni drowning tragedy many years ago was the most painful incident that touched the hearts and passions of many Kenyans and people from other countries. Mariam Kighenda and her daughter Amanda Mutheu died the most painful death locked in a tight grip in their car Toyota Isis enrollment number KCB 289C, which plunged into the ocean midstream around 613 pm on September 29, 2019, many twinkles after the ferry they had boarded took off.
According to the CCTV footage and report, the woman and her daughter are said to have died unexpectedly as a result of the car sinking from behind.
Kighenda, 35, and Mutheu, 4, passed tragically in a tight grasp on the rear seat of their Toyota ISIS five-seater automobile. Rescuers from the reinforcements were ready when they got there, but it was already dark. They died in the ocean for 13 whole days until the Kenyan Navy found their remains and the wreckage of the automobile, after many difficulties tempered by finger-pointing.
The victim’s family and musketeers remained on the site for 13 good days of hardships before the Kenya Navy divers were able to recover the body from the ocean. A multi-agency platoon made up of personnel from the Kenya Navy, Coast Guard Services, and Kenya Ferry Service pulled the truck out of the water. After 13 agonizing days of searching, the family and the rest of Kenya were relieved to see their corpses pulled from the river. As their bodies were later sent to the mortuary in Mombasa, the family felt relieved and was given time to organize for their funeral.
Several people questioned how Kighenda and her son ended up drowning at the Likoni ferry. Even after numerous attempts, the relatives of the deceased have never been given justice on the real cause of their deaths.
But, the mystery has been resolved and it is now known what murdered them. The long-awaited cause of the drowning of mama and son has finally been revealed, according to two elderly officers from Kenya Ferry Services, who acknowledged that the main reason for the tragedy was the ferry’s faultiness, which the mother and her daughter had boarded before meeting an untimely end.
The prows, which provide the ship buoyancy for transporting passengers and vehicles, allegedly broke earlier, preventing it from balancing on both ends, according to the two KFS officials. The two keep criticizing the government for putting off the repairs on the ship. If the authorities could have restored the prows of the vessel, the two “would be living right now with us,” they claimed. According to the two KFS officers, Kenyans are watching to see what would be done about them.
