The tragic news of Margaret Mbitu's passing has cast a pall over the town of Whitman, Massachusetts. A 31-year-old woman, she was reported missing on October 30th and was later found dead inside an SUV parked at the Boston Logan International Airport. Her 40-year-old boyfriend, Kevin Kangethe, is now a suspect in her murder, with police suspecting that he boarded a plane shortly after the crime was committed.
The warrant, released to the public on November 3rd, stated that the Massachusetts State Police arrived at the airport at 6:30 PM the day before and found Mbitu dead inside her white 2013 Toyota Venza. The police noticed a lot of blood and "obvious signs of death," and the Boston EMS team pronounced her dead at 7:23 PM.
The tragedy has left her family, friends, and coworkers in shock. Her cousin Virginia Ndungu told NBC Boston, “She was a bright shining star, she had her future, her whole future, ahead of her. She had ambition, she had drive. She was a beautiful soul and I think her loss is not just a loss to us but to her friends and to her coworkers and her patients, and to the entire community.”
Ulea Lago, a representative of BAMSI, the nonprofit where Mbitu worked briefly, also spoke about the tragedy, saying to NBC Boston, “It’s a huge loss. She was an amazing young woman. People described her as having a ray of sunshine.”
Mbitu's mother Rose is struggling to come to terms with her daughter's death, calling on Kangethe to surrender himself to a higher power. She said, “I don’t get it. I don’t get how somebody would take somebody’s life away for no reason, even now I have so many questions. The only thing I would now say to Kevin wherever he is, just surrender his life to God because it is only God who can change whatever mentality is in his mind of whatever he did.”
The family and police are still searching for Kevin Kangethe, and investigators are currently working on getting in contact with authorities in Kenya to locate him. Let us hope that justice will be served for Margaret Mbitu and that her family can find peace.
