A six-year inquest into the 2019 Likoni ferry tragedy, which claimed the lives of Mariam Kighenda and her daughter Amanda Mutheu, has officially closed its case after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) presented its final evidence.

• The inquest sought to determine the cause of death and establish responsibility for the incident where their vehicle plunged into the Indian Ocean.
• Key evidence presented included witness testimonies, expert reports, and CCTV footage that captured the vehicle rolling off the MV Harambee ferry.
• The inquest highlighted issues of ferry safety, including defective prows on the MV Harambee and the handling of crucial evidence, such as incomplete CCTV footage that was initially returned to the Kenya Ferry Services (KFS).
