Colleagues who interacted with Carol Ngumbu for the duration her attachment at the health facility are yet to come into terms with her death.

“She was reserved, cool and amiable… it was hard to pick her out from the rest,” said a colleague who interacted with her at the nutritional department.

“She was among the students whose performance we assessed in the month of May and her ratings were okay,” added the colleague who sought anonymity.

Another of her colleague described Carol as “an introvert” who rarely mingled freely during the rural experience programme.
