Achieng worked at a local radio station in Kahawa West called Radio 44. One of her friends, Lilian Odingo, described her as a good girl who was also good at her job.

“She used to present on Radio 44 and a very good presenter. We lost a good girl at the hands of a person she probably really loved,” she said.

The brother, Shadrack Aluko, said receiving the call about his sister’s death was something he would not wish on anyone.

“It feels like a movie, when you see events from the past, but I never imagined it could happen to my own sister,” he said.

“I am heartbroken and devastated that her life was taken too soon. What we want is justice for her and we ask Kenyans to pray for the Aluko family because this is not easy to handle,” she stated.
