Wairimu has said there are suspicions of a conspiracy, citing the lack of medical records and autopsy reports, while demanding that the truth be known.
Allegations of Confusion
Through law firm Omenke Andeje & Company, Wairimu described the family’s “unbearable pain” over Betty’s sudden death with no medical history. The family is expressing concerns over several factors.
Firstly, Betty was in good health before her death, with no signs of chronic illness. Secondly, the family was denied official information on the cause of death, which has added to the suspicions.
Wairimu also believes the hasty burial was aimed at concealing the truth surrounding the death. Finally, the family was unable to obtain medical records while she was receiving treatment, which has raised concerns about transparency.

Family’s plea to DPP
“The family expresses its outrage and requests that you direct the Inspector General to urgently investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Beatrice Wairimu Mbugua, alias Betty Bayo,” the letter reads in part.
Wairimu is demanding an explanation of what happened to her daughter and appropriate action be taken against those responsible.
“We want to know the truth, and we want justice to be served,” she said.
Impact on the Music Community Betty Bayo was a popular gospel singer in Kenya, known for her distinctive voice and uplifting songs such as “Neno la Mungu” and “Asante Yesu.”
Her death has left a deep void for fans and fellow singers, with the family’s claims raising many questions about the circumstances of her death.
Hospital and DPP Position
Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has not issued an official statement on Betty Bayo’s death, nor has the DPP publicly received a request for an inquest.
The family’s push clearly reflects concerns about accountability in cases of sudden deaths, especially of high-profile people.
Health experts have called the inquest necessary to avoid unnecessary panic among the public.
Sequence of Events Betty Bayo was given hope of recovery after being admitted to hospital on November 5, 2025, due to initial symptoms that were thought to be normal.
However, her condition suddenly deteriorated, and she died on the evening of November 10. The family was shocked by the speed of the funeral, which was held on November 12, without being allowed to see the autopsy report.
Reports
Initial statements from a family spokesperson said Betty died of leukemia, but her mother says that is incomplete information.
The family is demanding an independent investigation to determine the exact cause of death.
