Questions have emerged over what 35-year-old Murang'a mother Hellen Watiri told fellow mothers at Murang'a Level 5 Hospital after giving birth to her baby girl, before she reportedly left the newborn behind and was later found dead under mysterious circumstances.
Watiri reportedly delivered a healthy baby girl on November 5, 2026, at Murang'a Level 5 Hospital. However, barely seven days after welcoming her newborn, her life ended in a disturbing incident that is now being investigated by police.
According to information surrounding the incident, Watiri reportedly left the hospital after delivery, leaving her newborn daughter behind.
The mystery deepened on Thursday morning, November 12, when her lifeless body was discovered inside a building along Rubia Road in Murang'a County.
What made the discovery even more disturbing was that Watiri was reportedly still wearing a hospital maternity dress when her body was found.
After processing the scene, officers moved her body to the hospital mortuary, where it is being preserved pending a postmortem examination to establish the exact cause of death.
Her newborn baby girl remains an important part of the unfolding story, with questions also emerging about the child's welfare and the arrangements made following her mother's disappearance from the hospital.
Watiri's death also brings back memories of another heartbreaking incident involving a Murang'a mother, Virginia Njeri, and her young son, Adrian Mejja, whose bodies were discovered in River Thiriku in August 2025.
