The last Facebook post she uploaded was on the same day when her husband was murdered in cold blood where she said that one should be so worried of the grave.

Eddy was murdered alongside another suspect when they were cornered by police officers stealing from members of the public.

It all started when a group of gunmen on a motorbike started attacking and robbing from members of the public of their valuables and cash in Kibarange area.

According to a police report, the two shot and injured a man who was heading home. He was shot on his right thigh and currently admitted at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital.

Members of the public told the police what was happening and a manhunt for the duo started, leading to the fatal shooting of the wanted man.
