Tragic Discovery: British Rapper Kenny Mukendi Found in Brazil

Body Found: Confirmation Through DNA

The body of missing albino rapper Kenny Mukendi has been identified on Brazil's coast. The 22-year-old's remains washed ashore on May 5, 2018, near Mirante do Roncador in western Rio de Janeiro. Initial identification based on height, gender, and ethnicity was inconclusive due to the body's condition. However, a DNA test confirmed the grim discovery.

Family Questions Findings

Mukendi's family, known as Kenny Vulcan to his loved ones, remains in disbelief despite the DNA results. They insist on further testing after the body is returned to the UK. His cousin, 27-year-old Raees Bonna Bin Mapiana, stated, "We understand what DNA results mean, but they will be verified and independently examined."

Suicide Presumed

Detectives believe that Mukendi jumped from a cliff into the sea, leading to his death. Reports indicate that he was depressed when he left London and had sought a fresh start in Rio.

Timeline of Events

Mukendi arrived in Brazil on December 4, 2017, and spent three months with his ex-girlfriend, 20-year-old Renata Lima. He went missing on April 13, 2018, after hailing a cab to a tourist spot.

Social Media Deleted, Backpack Found

Following his disappearance, Mukendi deleted all his social media accounts. A backpack containing his laptop, passport, bank cards, wallet, flash drives, and headphones was later found by surfers.

Police Search and Speculation

An extensive search operation was launched, but it was suspended two weeks later after authorities concluded that Mukendi had committed suicide.

Family's Resignation

Despite the police's findings, Mukendi's father, Ken, continues to reject the notion of suicide. The family has offered a reward for information leading to his whereabouts.

Witnesses Claim to Have Seen Him

According to Mukendi's family, witnesses have come forward claiming to have seen him alive. However, Detective Ellen Suoto maintains that the rapper had been considering suicide prior to his departure from London.
