I held my breath for Margaret Nduta Macharia (37) on Monday morning.
Some 8,000km away from her home in Murang'a County, Ms Nduta faces death by lethal injection following her conviction for drug trafficking in Vietnam.
In a rare stand for her life and against the death penalty, citizens, human rights organisations and the national administration rallied to stay her execution.
The outline of her experience is clear even if details remain sketchy.
