Rancher Lucy Wambui Jennings of Laikipia, who was shot on Sunday in the Rumuruti area by unidentified intruders, has gone away.
Jennings passed away on Thursday morning at Pope Benedict XIV Hospital in Nyahururu while receiving medical care.
The deceased had been receiving care in the hospital’s intensive care unit, but, according to his brother Njihia Mbugua, things got worse in the early hours of Thursday morning, the day she passed away.
On January 21, when Jennings was on her way to church, the attackers ambushed her. She was shot in the hand and in the back of the skull.
Six people have been detained by police thus far in relation to the incident, but no formal charges have been brought against them.
Benjamin Muhia, the commander of Laikipia West Sub-County Police, stated that investigators are pursuing further suspects and working to recover the gun that was used in the shooting.
