[PHOTOS] Journalists troop to Tinina's home as morgue van arrives to pick body

Friends and colleagues of the late veteran journalist Rita Tinina on Sunday afternoon dropped into her home following her death.

It was a sombre mood at the Kileleshwa apartment as most of them were still in shock to hear about her sudden demise.

The journalists were, however, not allowed to enter into the compound of the apartments which served as Tinina's home.

Some of the journalists included Citizen's Nimrod Taabu, KTN's Ken Mijungu, Lofty Matambo and former Nation Media Group investigative reporter Dennis Onsarigo among others.

Her body was taken to the Umash Funeral home as her colleagues in the media waited outside her apartment.

Tinina’s body was found at her Kileleshwa apartment.

She was supposed to be on duty at NTV where she worked but failed to report.

This prompted the managers at her place of work to go to the house where the body was found.

The cause of the death is yet to be known, police said. Her family was present as police arrived to pick up the body to the mortuary pending autopsy.

She was a mother of one girl.
