Police in Nairobi are investigating circumstances surrounding the death of a 42-year-old woman, which occurred on Thursday morning (September 24).
Jesica Sibwa died after developing a severe cough while in a guest room that she had booked herself into with her brother-in-law.
Sibwa, a resident of Mwiki, Kasarani, and her 45-year-old brother-in-law, John Kisongona Mareko, checked into Graceland Hotel on Dubois Road in Nairobi CBD on Wednesday 7:30pm. The two spent the night together.

“At around 6am (Thursday, September 24), Jesica developed (health) complications, and started coughing and vomiting. Mareko hailed a taxi, which took Jesica to the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), where she was pronounced dead on arrival,” says an 8:13pm police report filed at the KNH police post under OB Number 97/24/9/2020.
Police are holding Mareko in lawful custody as investigations into the death of his sister-in-law continue.
Sibwa’s body was moved to the KNH mortuary awaiting postmortem.
