Friday,
October 11, 2019- The bodies of
Mariam Kighenda and her four year-old daughter, Amanda Mutheu, have finally been retrieved from the Indian Ocean after 13 days.
The wreckage of the
ill-fated Toyota Isis, registration plate KCB 289C, was
pulled out shortly after 4pm on Friday.
The team in charge of the operation managed to
successfully hook the crane to the vehicle in the morning, a challenge they
faced on Thursday, leading to the postponement of the process.
Balloons
were attached to the car to enable it float as it was being taken out of the
ocean with Kenya Redcross Society
workers on standby to carry the bodies.
The bodies of Mariam Kighenda and
4-year-old daughter Amanda were found in tight embrace at the back seat of
retrieved car.
The mother and daughter drowned in the Indian Ocean after
their vehicle, a Toyota Isis, reversed and slid off the MV Harambee ferry which
was midstream on September 29.
