The family of Rachel Njoki, who died under unclear circumstances in Saudi Arabia, is calling for justice as they face bureaucratic hurdles in a quest to determine the cause of her death.

According to them, they were informed by Kenyan police that they cannot conduct an autopsy on her body without authorisation from Interpol, a move that has left the family frustrated and suspicious of foul play.  "We were informed that post-mortem could not be conducted due to certain bureaucracies and that we needed approval from Interpol.

We want transparency in this process to determine if her death was natural or if foul play was involved," said Charles Gacheru, a church elder and family friend.

Njoki, 37, left Kenya for Saudi Arabia on December 17 last year, seeking a job to provide for her two sons.
