A Kenyan woman was on Wednesday murdered by an unknown assailant in Essen, Germany.
27-year-old Mary Waithera was found dead on the floor of a store that she operated in the city, with reports indicating that an unidentified man stabbed her in the chest with a knife and fled.
Waithera has lived in Germany for eight years and in addition to operating the store, she also worked as a nurse.
Her mom, Alice Kamathi, expressed shock on learning of her daughter’s death, whom she said supported the family in Kenya. "Waithera was a nurse who supported the family financially and through medication. My first born son and I are diabetic and since my husband died seven years ago, we have relied on my daughter for support," Alice told The Star.
Details surrounding Waithera’s murder are still not clear. Her family says they contacted the Kenyan embassy in Germany but were referred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nairobi.
Waithera’s murder comes two weeks after the body of another Kenyan, Brian Nyawade Owino, was discovered in Berlin, Germany. Owino had been missing since December 29, 2017.

This so called Kenyan Embassies are a disgrace! What's their role really? I expect them to facillitate the process procedurally rather than asking the family to contact foreign affairs! You and I know how almost impossible it is to get hold of someone willing to help in Kenya if you do not know anybody.
So frighting the rate at which we are loosing our sisters and brothers in diaspora. God bless this family & may justice prevail. RIP kenyan sister.
The kenyan Embassy in Berlin serves almost no purpose for its citizen.surely if they cant help in matters such these kazo yao ni gani??nkt!!!
Ningependa kuwaomba wafanyi kazi wa ubalozi wa nchi ya
Kenya popote wanapoiwakilisha nchi ya Kenya waweke orodha
kamili ya Wakenya wote mara moja bila kusita.
Umuhimu wa orodha hii ni kurahisisha jinsi ya kuwasiliana hasa wakati kifo cha ghafula kimetokea. Pili, ubalozi waweza kutayarisha orodha ya sheria zinazotofautiana sana na za Kenya ili Wakenya wajitahadhari wasiingie kwenye matatizo iwapo wamezivunja sheria muhimu za nchi bila kujua.
Mtu fulani kutoka nchi ya Siera Leone hapa Marekani aliniambia ya kwamba alikuwa karibu sana kupigwa risasi na polisi alipoambiwa aweke mikono yake kwenye usukani wa motokaa naye akawa anajiandaa kumpa askari rushwa kama wanavyofanya huko alikotoka. Yaani, alitoa mikono yake kwenye usukani ili apate nafasi ya kumtolea hela za hongo! Hapa marekani kwenye tabaka za chini, hamna hongo yoyote. Kwa hiyo ukidhubutu kumpa polisi rushwa, maisha yako yatakuwa magumu sana.
Mabalozi wetu, nawaombeni muwaulize Wakenya wote popote walipo katika nchi unayowakilisha, wawatumie anwani zao, namba za simu, na pia majina ya watu wa wafimilia yake iwapo kumetukia jambo la hatari kwake.
