Tuesday, July 1, 2025 - A 48-year-old woman, Irene Wanjiru Mbugua, a caregiver, was attacked and k!lled by a male patient whom she was caring for in the UK.
Mbugua was found d3ad in a residence on Markby Road, Winson
Green, Birmingham, at approximately 1 a.m. on Monday, June 23, 2025.
The mother of four, who hailed from Mataara in Gatundu
North, Kiambu, Kenyan, worked in the UK for two years. She was employed by
a caregiving agency.
Her violent d3ath has sent shockwaves through her family and
the African caregiving community, as she was a devoted mother and a respected
professional.
Speaking to journalists, her brother Gilbert Mbuga said his sister was clobbered to d3ath by a mentally ill patient whom she was caring for in Birmingham.
"Police said she had been clobbered on the head with a
blunt object and a postmortem report showed she died of blunt force
trauma," her brother Gilbert Mbugua said.
"Mbugua’s death was a sad affair since her two young
twin sons had only a week arrived in the UK from Kenya a week before, and she
had been looking forward to reconnecting with them in her house at Nottingham
where her oldest son lives," he added.
"She missed filing the mandatory daily work
report," he said.
It was after both the family and the agency failed to reach
her that the West Midlands Police were involved and discovered her body in the
house where she worked on three-week residential shifts.
A man in his thirties has been arrested and is currently in
custody on suspicion of m8rder.
The police have confirmed they are not searching for anyone
else in connection with the incident.
