episode 8: Mercy Chepkosgei Keino
(This podcast discusses crime of a violent nature, listener discretion and parental guidance are recommended.)
In the middle of June, 2011, on one of Nairobi’s busiest highways, early one Saturday morning, the unalive body of a young woman was found. She would later be identified as Mercy Keino and though her death is unresolved to date, the subsequent investigations would reveal that her last night alive was quite a dramatic one. The aftermath would see a number of people adversely mentioned in connection to her death, including a prominent member of government at the time. And although an inquest cleared him of involvement, the connection has haunted (tainted?) his life and political career ever since.
In this episode, we explore the last moments of the life of Mercy Chepkosgei Keino, revisiting the events as they were described by witnesses at the inquest up to the point that she was found tragically unalive on the highway.
