A Kenyan woman, 37- year- old Margaret Nduta, has been sentenced to death in Vietnam after being convicted of drug trafficking. This devastating verdict has sent shockwaves through her family and community, leaving them in profound distress. The gravity of the situation has been further compounded by the sudden death of Margaret' s grandmother, who reportedly passed away from shock upon hearing the tragic news.

Margaret' s mother, Purity Macharia, has been struggling to cope with the situation, expressing deep anguish over the fate of her daughter. " This news has been stressful to us all. My mother is no more, " she lamented, mourning not only her daughter' s sentence but also the loss of her own mother. The family is now grappling with multiple tragedies, as Margaret' s twin sister is also facing significant health challenges after undergoing surgery.

Purity has spoken of the immense emotional turmoil she is experiencing, revealing that she has lost her appetite due to the overwhelming pain of knowing that her daughter may not have a future. The reality of Margaret' s death sentence has left the entire family in despair, as they struggle to come to terms with the unfolding nightmare.

Margaret had left Kenya in 2023 in search of better opportunities in Vietnam. According to her family, she was unaware that the suitcase she received from a man named Njoroge contained drugs. Her conviction and sentencing have reignited discussions on the dangers of international travel, particularly the risks associated with carrying luggage on behalf of others. Many Kenyans have taken to social media to express their sympathy and urge the government to intervene on her behalf.
