A couple by the names Marcus Dunn and Anne Dunn were on Thursday evening killed in an air accident involving Cessna 185 aircraft in Kedong ranch, Naivasha. Reports have it that they were returning to their home in Loldia, Naivasha, when the incident happened. Poor visibility has been blamed for the accident, although Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has said investigations are still underway to establish the cause of the incident.
Normally, where aviation accidents and incidents occur, thorough investigations are undertaken to determine the root cause. This helps in reinforcing safety measures where such incidents are curtailed from happening again, in future. KCAA is a Kenyan body whose multi agency team of air accident investigators and experts are involved in such cases.
Rescue operations of the victims were hardened by the fact that the aircraft crashed into a valley. However, after about 6 hours of operation, the police were successful in the end.
