via Tuko18 hours ago4 min read
The family of 16-year-old Joy Wanjiru is using CCTV footage to trace her final movements in Karatina as the search for her enters its tenth day. Surveillance footage shows the Kenya High School student walking with an unidentified man toward the Ragati River bridge shortly before her disappearance. The teen failed to alight at her usual stage in Nyeri, and her belongings were later found near the riverbank. Wanjiru boarded a matatu in Nairobi at 11:15 AM on Wednesday, April 1, and was expected to arrive home, but her mother, Esther Githigia, confirmed that the matatu driver stated Wanjiru alighted in Nyeri town around 2:30 PM, not her usual Skuta stage. CCTV footage from Gyakairo Estate at 5:12 PM shows Wanjiru dressed in a grey skirt, white blouse, brown shoes, and carrying a bag. Later, at 6:37 PM, she was seen near River Ragati, still with her bag. At 6:46 PM, Wanjiru appeared on camera without her bag and was walking with an unidentified man towards the Ragati River bridge. Her bag was recovered near this stretch of the river on April 2. Railway location chief Dadson Ithiru is leading search operations in Karatina.
