Beautiful photos of a Kenyan woman who reportedly died in Dubai have surfaced online, leaving friends, family, and Kenyans both at home and abroad in shock.
The woman has been identified as Joyce Wanjiku, a native of Kitale in Trans Nzoia County. Reports indicate that she allegedly jumped from a building while in Dubai, where she had traveled seeking employment and better opportunities. The exact circumstances of her death remain unclear.
Photos circulating on social media show Joyce as vibrant, confident, and full of life. In the images, she is seen smiling, well-dressed, and happy—an image that contrasts sharply with the tragic news of her death.
Many of her friends have expressed disbelief over the reports. One close friend, Miriam Rotich, questioned the circumstances surrounding Joyce’s death.
She described Joyce as lively, loving, deeply religious, and committed to her Christian faith. Joyce regularly attended church and was optimistic about her future plans abroad.
“I refuse to believe that you went to Dubai just to commit suicide instead of working,” Miriam wrote. “For the longest time I have known you, I want to believe you didn’t jump off that building. Someone must have pushed you.”
Miriam added that Joyce’s death has left her emotionally devastated. She continues to hope that the reports are mistaken or that there has been a case of misidentification.
“The news of your death is deadly, painful, and devastating,” she said. “I still think someone will tell us it’s a lie. I am in total denial.”
As the story spreads, many Kenyans are expressing grief, shock, and sympathy for Joyce’s family, while also raising questions about the circumstances surrounding her death.
