The Kenya Ferry Services (KFS) has confirmed that the body of John Mutinda has been retrieved after his vehicle plunged into the Indian Ocean on Saturday morning.
According to the KFS, Mutinda's car sped off the ramp at high speed, despite several efforts by ferry officials to flag him down.
The incident brings back memories of the recent Likoni Ferry tragedy, where Mariam Kighenda and her daughter Amanda Mutheu drowned on September 29.
Rescuers took 13 days to retrieve the wreckage of their car from the seabed, and the KFS has promised to investigate the circumstances surrounding Mutinda's death.
On December 7, 2019, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho dispatched a unit from the inspectorate department to join the multi-agency rescue team.
