Monica's father, Paul Ngarama, delivered a heartfelt tribute to his daughter describing her as a hardworking businesswoman who had helped the family.
"It has been one week. Even as we have a memorial service for you, I still can’t believe that you are gone, Monica. I keep looking at the door, hoping that at any given moment, you will walk right in and say hi Dad. I am here still waiting for you.
"For sure Monica, you may not return to me, it is me to come where you are. I have learnt to forgive.
"You bought our mum a Subaru Impreza last week. We celebrated, and you promised me a V8 land cruiser as a surprise. I am still waiting. A daughter of a barber to an MD of a family company," he narrated.
As the mass continued, detectives dusted the car belonging to Citizen TV anchor Jacque Maribe.
