Judy Moraa's final TikTok post

The TheOcharo'sfamily account had built a loyal following of over 211,000 on TikTok through the couple's shared content. Looking back now, Judy's last post has taken on a heartbreaking significance.

In the caption, she wrote: "Niponye niwe huru (Heal me to be free). Someone bless me with a verse." Many who encountered the video at the time could not have anticipated just how serious her condition was.

Close friends who have since spoken publicly about her death say she suffered a swollen stomach in the lead-up to her passing.

Mathew Ocharo, who served as a chorister at SDA Church Betterliving Getembe, has been at the centre of an outpouring of support from the online community since the news broke.
