22-Year-Old Kenyan Woman Found Dead on Beach in Dubai on Her Birthday

22-Year-Old Kenyan Woman Found Dead on Beach in Dubai on Her Birthday

A 22-year-old Kenyan woman was last week found dead on a beach in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, with the cause of her death shrouded with mystery.

The body of Suzan Makena from Nyeri County was found in the sea by Dubai police on Wednesday, July 31st, which was coincidentally her birthday.

Ms. Makena, who moved to Dubai about four months ago, is reported to have left her house at 3 am on that day to meet someone but was found dead five hours later.

“Postmortem results from Dubai police show that Suzie slipped and drowned. She was found at 8 am on July 31,” a Kenyan identified only as Njambi, who worked with her, told The Star.
Until she met her death, Ms. Makena was working in a hotel in Dubai, having left Kenya in April this year. Her family learned of her death from her roommates after the body was positively identified as that of Makena.

"On Wednesday (last week), she had little rest with roommates but because it was her birthday, she was going to meet someone later. But her phone went off later," a close family member told The Star.

The family has been told contradicting stories surrounding Ms. Makena’s death, according to The Star.

She worked at 67 Airport Hotel as a waiter before moving to Dubai. Family and friends are seeking to raise Sh500,000 to bring her remains home.

    Well may her soul rest in peace but there is more to this story. Why would she go out at 3am to meet someone could she not have told the person to wait till morning hours to meet? Or was it an urgent meeting?

    "Postmortem shows that she slipped and drowned?" That a lie. Postmortem may show that she drowned but not that she slipped into the water. Someone,possibly whoever she was going to meet may have killed her and staged it as a drowning incidence. Further investigation is needed for truth to come out: why was she going out at 3:00am? Did she meet the person?

    Truth be told by investigators, I dont believe in drowning story. Please wakenya wenzangu, Arabs wanatuona kama 'rubbish' they dont value our lives, so stay away from them or situations that will compromise your life like meeting "someone" @ 3am etc. There is hidden truth to this story but Arab countries dont care about 'blacks'.

    Hii nchi yenye wasichana wetu wadogo wanaenda kutafuta riziki ya halali only to be told to drink Arab's urine, lick their feces and "sleep" with their dogs and leopards only to end up like kina Vera sidika. These people are capable of anything. Pole sana to this young lady and her family. Mungu alinde watu wake jamani
