Man arrested in Lamu in probe over Tecra Muigai’s death

Tecra is said to have fallen and sustained serious injuries before she was rushed to a nearby clinic. She was later airlifted to Nairobi where she succumbed to injuries.

Homicide detectives want to establish what triggered the incident.

“We want to know whether it was an accident or there is something else,” a detective privy to the investigations told Kenyan Digest.

She was the director of Strategy and Innovation at the family-owned brewery that is based in Naivasha.

Detectives said they are also keen to establish her relationship with the man, and how long they had known each other. It is still unclear if the house was owned by the man.

“Tecra’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of important innovations that have enriched the company’s wide product range including the development of new brands that were scheduled to be launched this year,” the breweries said in a statement that also appealed for privacy for the family as they mourn their daughter.

Keroche Breweries is owned by Joseph and Tabitha Karanja who are Tecra’s parents.
