The 65-year-old was found dead with a deep cut on his throat on Friday, June 14, just hours before his daughter’s funeral at Lang’ata Cemetery.

An autopsy conducted at Montezuma Monalisa Funeral Home in Mbagathi, Nairobi, revealed that Koikai died from excessive bleeding due to a slit wound on his neck. Pathologist Grace Midigo confirmed, “Koikai succumbed to severe bleeding from a significant wound on his throat.”

The tragic discovery was made by Koikai’s daughter, Naserian Koikai, who received a distressing message from her father around 9:15 a.m. on that fateful day. The message read, “I am sorry it had to come to this.”

“This alarming message prompted her to rush to his rented apartment at Tatu City Unity Block A5-11,” the police report stated. Upon arrival, Naserian found the door locked from the inside and, after knocking repeatedly without a response, she gained entry through the bedroom window.

This double tragedy has left the Koikai family and the community in profound shock and grief. Jahmby Koikai, known for her passionate advocacy for menstrual health and reggae music, was laid to rest in a ceremony attended by numerous mourners who now also mourn her father’s untimely death.
