Peris Mugera, a mother of two from Chuka town in Tharaka-Nithi district, has been missing since February 29 this year. The police are searching for her.
According to Tharaka Nithi County Commissioner Mr Wesley Koech, Mugera’s body was found on the Makutano-Sagana Highway in Kirinyaga County on Monday.
The death of Mugera comes barely eight months after that of her employee, Mr Gitari Mbiuki, who unsuccessfully ran for Tharaka Nithi governorship in the last election.
Peris Mugera, a businesswoman and political blogger was full of life when she left her rented house in Chuka town in Tharaka Nithi County on Thursday last week according to her two children aged 15 and six.
Mugera, 40, a single mother reportedly told her daughters that she would meet a friend, proceed to work elsewhere, and then come back in the evening as usual but unfortunately never knew that it was her last conversation with her children.
