Ahmed Darwesh Body Airlifted To Mombasa Where He Will Be Laid To Rest

The untimely passing of news anchor Ahmed Darwesh is saddening as a young established anchor will no longer grace our tv screens. Darwesh was apparently alone in the house when he met his death. A message from his colleagues said he was expected at KTN to read the 7 pm news.

Darwesh body left Wilson airport at around 9.40 am and will be taken to his home in Mtopanga (Kwa Onyango stage).

The body will stay at home until 3pm then taken for burial at Kikowani Baadal Islamic cemetery, after prayers at Memon Masjid.

Journalists and politicians paid their tribute to the young Ahmed Darwesh who captured the hearts of many viewers when casting news on KTN Leo.

I have cried my heart out today. Nothing prepares you for death. Not even when you are a man of faith. Today, I feel robbed of a friend.
