The remains of a Kenyan woman who went missing in Germany have been found, bringing closure to her family after a month-long search.
Rita Awuor Ojunge, 32, was reported missing on April 7, 2019, after she failed to return to the asylum shelter in Höhenleipisch where she lived with her husband and two children.
Her disappearance was shared with various media houses, including Nairobi News, with a description that she was last seen dropping her two children at a neighbor's house.
On May 23, her sister, Caroline Atieno, told Nairobi News that she was yet to find her sister, who had been missing for over a month.
However, in a recent Facebook post, Ms. Atieno revealed that her sister's remains had been found.
According to a press statement released by the South Brandenburg Police Department, the remains found in a forest were matched to Rita Awuor Ojunge through DNA analysis.
The skeleton was found in mid-June, but police did not immediately ascertain whose remains they were.
The cause of her death remains unclear, with investigations by the South Brandenburg Police Department still ongoing.
