The mysterious death of Susan Njoki Kamengere, a respected mental wellness advocate and CEO of Toto Touch Kenya, has taken a chilling new turn. Police investigations reveal she was strangled hours after being forcibly admitted to a Nairobi hospital.
Newly uncovered audio recordings and a deleted Facebook post reveal Susan’s deep fear for her life, alleging a plot involving people close to her, including her husband and a psychiatrist. On July 14, four individuals entered her Kileleshwa home, where she was heard pleading as she was forced into an ambulance and later injected with an unknown substance before being admitted to Braeside Hospital in Chiromo.
Susan died the following day. An autopsy conducted by both government and private doctors confirmed manual strangulation as the cause of death, showing clear signs of bruising and oxygen deprivation. The findings ruled out natural causes and raised questions about her treatment while in hospital care.
Authorities have arrested several suspects, including her husband and some hospital staff, though all have since been released on bail pending further investigations. Police are gathering crucial evidence, including her phone records, medical files, and CCTV footage, as public outcry intensifies over possible negligence and foul play.
Susan’s family claims they were denied access to her during hospitalization and kept in the dark about her condition, sparking outrage and demands for justice. A candlelight vigil held in Nairobi honoured her legacy while shining a spotlight on the gaps in Kenya’s mental health laws and their potential misuse.
With toxicology results pending and more arrests expected, the full truth behind Susan Kamengere’s tragic death remains shrouded in uncertainty. How did a woman, fighting for mental health awareness, die under suspicious circumstances in a place meant to protect her? The investigation continues.
