Awuor’s father John Tindo said they learnt about his daughter’s death through an international agency, which facilitated her overseas travel with a promise for greener pastures. Tindo explained that his daughter had informed them that her life was in danger after she requested to be sent back home. He described this as a lame excuse, saying despite the pandemic, cargo planes had not been affected by the ban on international flights in and out of the country. Kenya Airways resumed international flights on August 1. The family is now pleading for government intervention to have the body of their daughter flown home and allow them a chance to bury it.
