The family of Likoni Ferry tragedy victims Mariam Kighenda and her 4-year-old daughter Amanda Mutheu has moved to court to sue Kenya Ferry Services(KFS) over negligence.
This had already been revealed by the family’s spokesperson, Luka Mbati, following the release of post-mortem results on Wednesday.
The family expressed satisfaction with the results, saying burial arrangements would kick off immediately.
Chief Government pathologist Johansen Oduor conducted the autopsy on Wednesday and found that Kighenda and her daughter died out of suffocation.
The post-mortem examination took one-and-half hours, said Dr Oduor. It was conducted at Jocham Hospital mortuary in Mombasa.
Burial arrangements are currently ongoing in Makueni county where Kighenda’s husband, John Wambua, hails from.
The remains are being transported to Makueni today (Friday) and later be buried tomorrow (tomorrow).
Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has offered to transport the bodies from Mombasa to Makueni through his Sonko Rescue Team.
Meanwhile, President Uhuru Kenyatta has sacked all members of the Kenya Ferry Services board following the deaths of Mariam and her daughter Amanda at the Likoni Channel.
