The victim shared that the necklace was new and precious to her.
Her friend told that they were on their way to a meeting nearby when the incident happened, just a few minutes from where they were going.
Many Kenyans who saw the video felt sorry for her, understanding that the emotional impact was greater than the worth of the necklace.
