Her family and friends have, meanwhile, referred to her as a generous and loving person who liked playing hockey.

“We played hockey with June in as much as she had left the Vultures and Titans hockey club at the Kenyatta University before I joined,” he wrote on Facebook.
Mr Wesonga adds that the deceased introduced him and another friend to floorball in 2019.
From there, they were all called to the Kenya Floorball Federation national team to compete at the Africa Cup of Nations.
“I am mourning June and my heart feels shuttered because she was a woman full of life, she was so welcoming and very social,” he said.
“She taught us the game with all her heart, she encouraged us to cover Floorball in Kenya and show the game to the world. I gave Floorball a break and June kept calling and texting me to get back to the field,” he added.
Mr Wesonga added he had joined the deceased’s family in a bid to ensure that justice is served.
Joan Chemutai, another friend, also described her shock on learning Ms Jerop was no more.
Ms Chemutai said that the good memories they shared could not in any way be forgotten.
