John Wambua, the husband of a 35-year-old woman who drowned in the Indian Ocean on Sunday, says his wife had 30 minutes to the heartbreaking incident — informed her that she and their 4-year-old daughter were about to board a ferry at the Likoni channel.
Wambua says Mariam Kigenda had during the weekend visited their Kwale farm with their daughter, Amanda Mutheu, and were on their way back to their Mombasa home when they drowned after the vehicle they were traveling in plunged into the sea.
“Shortly after 6pm, she called to tell me that she was on her way back and she was, in fact, about to cross. But at around 6.40pm, I scanned my Twitter and saw breaking news about a Likoni ferry mishap in which a vehicle had plunged into the ocean,” a distressed Wambua said
