CCTV footage has emerged showing the final moments of Sheila Chebet, a first-year student at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), before her tragic death in Karatina.
The footage, which is now part of the ongoing investigation, captures Chebet in the company of Vincent Bett, the last person reported to have been seen with her. Authorities have since taken Bett into custody, where he will remain for 14 days as detectives continue to piece together the events leading up to the incident. Investigators are reviewing the footage alongside other evidence in a bid to establish a clear timeline and determine what transpired.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community and among students, raising concerns about safety and accountability. Chebet, described by peers as focused and promising, had only recently begun her studies, making the circumstances of her death even more distressing.
Her family has come forward to demand justice, urging law enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation. They have emphasized the need for timely answers and accountability for those responsible. The family’s appeal reflects a broader call from the public for swift action and reassurance that such incidents are taken seriously.
Meanwhile, authorities in Nyeri County have reiterated their commitment to uncovering the truth. They have appealed to anyone with relevant information to assist in the investigation, noting that every detail could be crucial in ensuring justice is served.
As the probe continues, many are watching closely, hoping for clarity, justice, and measures to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
