The family of the late blogger Maureen Kinyua has petitioned the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to launch a fresh inquest into her 2019 death, which they allege was a premeditated murder disguised as a road accident.

• The family's lawyers submitted a letter to the ODPP on March 19, 2026, outlining six reasons for their suspicion, including a penetration wound on the forehead and an undamaged motorcycle.
• Key individuals mentioned include Maureen Kinyua, her father James Kinyua Macharia, a senior political figure from the Mount Kenya region, and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who has denied accusations.
• The family also highlighted the suspicious circumstances, such as a female friend luring Maureen to a location, a boda boda rider's vanishing act, and the immediate arrival of the wife of the implicated political figure at the scene.
