Lilian is a former Kenya Air Force officer, who was based at Moi Air Base Eastleigh before relocating to Afghanistan to work for DynCorp International as a security officer.
Reports indicate that she died after a suicide bomber in an explosives-filled motorcycle rode to a barrier that she and her colleagues were securing and detonated the improvised explosive device.
Lilian had just finished her shift and on her way back to the base when the suicide bomber, who had passed through three barriers manned by Afghan soldiers and reached the final foreign-manned barrier, detonated the explosive.
Arrangements are underway to transport her body back to Kenya after the Federal Bureau of Investigations complete their probe. The head of Dyncorp International in Afghanistan will accompany the body to Kenya.
