The body
of a Kenyan student who drowned while swimming in a lake in Germany
has been flown to Kenya. Joshua K’Oduka, who moved to Germany a
month ago and was currently attending language courses at the Uni
Leipzig is said to have drowned at a lake in the Eastern German city
Leipzig. His mother Benta K’Oduka said it was Joshua’s second
trip to Germany having been here in 2013 for an internship at the
University of Heidelberg. “It is summer there and they had gone for
swimming sessions when he drowned. I am very hurt. Very hurt but we
will soldier on,” she said on the phone. Ms K’Oduka said the body
was flown to Kenya ahead of Friday’s planned burial event in
Homabay. A Maseno University graduate, Joshua was a well-known
researcher in the field of medical entomology and parasitology
focusing on Malaria, having even worked at the Kenya Medical Research
Institute (KEMRI) in the same field. He leaves behind his wife,
Debbie K’Oduka, a 3 year old daughter, Miky and a brother, Kevin
