The family of Kate Mitchell, a senior programming manager at BBC Media Action, is pleading for speedy justice five years after her death in a Nairobi hotel. Mitchell, originally from Ethiopia, was found dead in her 8th-floor room on November 19, 2021. A man she was last seen with was also found dead outside the hotel.

• The UK inquest in February 2025 concluded Mitchell was unlawfully killed by an intruder.
• Her family, including her brother Peter Mitchell, is dissatisfied with the slow pace of investigations in Kenya.
• The ongoing inquest at Kibera Law Courts, which began in late 2025, has faced significant delays due to withheld documents and absent witnesses.
