John Ward found his daughter, Julie, dismembered remains in the thickets of Maasai Mara game reserve on September 13th, 1988. Julie had been missing since 6th September when she left Mara Serena Lodge to continue with her photography safari. What first looked like a murder mystery quickly became a fruitless three-decade push for justice.
Julie had gone to the Mara with her friend, Dr. Glen Burns. On an expedition on the day before her disappearance, Julie’s Jeep broke down and the two returned to the Mara Serena Lodge. Burns left that day for Nairobi. The Jeep was repaired on the morning of September 6th and Julie left for the Sand River camp to collect her camping equipment. That was the last time she was ever seen.
Initial reports claimed that the Jeep had broken down again and she had been stranded in the game reserve. She had then been struck by lighting and lions or hyenas chanced upon her and killed her. John Ward dedicated the rest of his life to getting justice for his daughter. To date, John has made more than 200 visits to Kenya and spent the better part of his fortune trying to unearth how his daughter died. There seems to have been an official cover up over Julie’s death that has made the case the subject of controversy and several conspiracy theories.
Three people, all park rangers including the head park warden, were arrested and charged with murder. They were all later acquitted. In this news report, a former intelligence official claims Julie was raped and then killed. Her body was then mutilated to look like she had been mauled by wild animals.
An article allegedly written by John Ward and published in the Nairobi Law Monthly claims that it was the then President Moi’s son, Jonathan Moi, who killed Ward after he raped her. In the story, Moi first met Ward at a hotel in the Mara. He was accompanied by his farm manager and rally navigator, Ibrahim Choge, who would die in a mysterious road accident in June 1998. Jonathan denied the accusation. To this day, the murder of Julie Ward remains unsolved.
How many kenyan ladies were beaten raped and killed by the fucking colonial british? How many more are being raped in kenyan slums now as we speak? So it suddenly becomes a big deal when 60 years ago a white mother got raped in kenya? Spare us kindly
99.9 % of the wazungus that visit Kenya from Europe and more specifically Britain and Germany are Upper Crust well to do wealthy educated wazungus.
And they are all well connected and clued in.
…are the women in the slums you come from raped , killed and a major ‘government-wide’ cover up undertaken to help the perpetrators evade the long arm of the law ? … There is a reason this case made news & the others didn’t …
I followed the case for sometime and YES one of the Moi’s was involved. Her dad did all he could trying to get justice for his daughter but Kenya is something else as we can see mpaka wa leo. He died from a broken heart and had possibly exhausted all his funds trusting ‘our’ lawyers.
But no OOOH NO Moi’s corrupt rule did not exist. We made a quick jump from Jomo Snr to Jomo Jnr. Country was not digital then so hatuna evidence.
Yes. Every time kuna msako looking for either guns mungiki, pev protestors, etc the gsu rape women. there exist alot of documented cases of women contracting hiv and bearing children of the same attackers during such times…and the govt denies it…also your uptown sisters get drugged and raped every weekend clubbing by unscruplous conmen Sijui whats soo special about this ward case. She died and she died and shes dead as a dodo,Get over it.
And its not a crime to come from the slums, its what you do afterwards that matters.
