The family of five who died in the Ethiopian Airlines crash were traveling from Hamilton to Kenya, for the baby to meet her grandfather for the first time this Easter.
The heartbroken grandfather, Quindos Karanja, disclosed that Rubi who is a Canadian citizen, her 60-year-old grandmother, Ann Wangui Karanja, her 34-year-old mother, Carolyne Karanja and her seven-year-old brother Ryan, and sister Kelly, who was four were all on the flight.
The 60-year-old retired school teacher who is still trying to come to terms with the shock of losing so many loved ones, said in a telephone interview “We don’t know what’s next.”
He further added that though he knows he has to be strong and accept reality, but he doesn’t know how to do that. “It’s just hard to accept that this has happened. I feel so much loss. And pain. I’m lonely.”
It was further gathered that Carolyne, had applied to be a permanent resident in Canada. Ann Karanja traveled to Canada for a visit in August and was supposed to be there for three months but had extended her stay.

"I was reading these exact comments back in January when my world was falling apart. I thought my marriage was over because of a third-party shadow that had completely changed my husband.
ReplyDeleteI finally reached out to Mystic Kakaa last month. He performed a deep spiritual clearance, and the transformation was almost instant. By the first week of February, the other woman was gone and my husband was back to the man I married. If you are starting 2026 in pain, please don't wait. Email him at spiritualkakaa {at} gmail . com. He is the only one who actually delivers in these high-stakes situations."
