Irine Mbithe, who was admitted at the Machakos Level 5 Hospital, revealed that the vehicle she had boarded had a blue body and white cabin. 

Mbithe claimed that she had boarded the truck that was traveling from Mombasa to Nairobi before she was ejected after attempts by the occupants to rape her failed.

In an interesting twist of events, the victim says she does not remember where she was picked.

“Although I can’t remember the exact place I was picked up from since it was my first time in Mombasa, the vehicle I boarded was a tanker transporting petroleum products, had a blue tank and a white cabin," Mbithe said.

According to Alfayo Otuke, a former CEO with Kenya Transporters Association, the firm can now track the drivers of the vehicle.

The incident has since continued to elicit mixed reactions from different factions. 

“With such information of the time they passed Marikani, it will be easy for the association to track down the vehicle she was in and have the drivers who passed the weighbridge at that time paraded for the woman to identify the culprits," Otuke said.
