The theatre world is in mourning following the passing of actor Charles Ouda.

The actor, who had carved out a name for himself in the acting sphere and had recently become engaged to former BBC journalist Ciru Muriuki, passed away on February 3, as confirmed by a statement from the family.

The statement respectfully requested privacy for both Ouda's family and his fiancée during this period of mourning.

"It is with deep sorrow that the family of Charles ‘Charlie’ J. Ouda and Ciru Muriuki inform you of his passing on the night of February 3, 2024. He was a beloved son, brother, and friend. Charlie was 38 years old.

"We appeal to all to give his fiancée Ciru and the Ouda family space to grieve this unfathomable loss. More details will be provided in due course. Once again, we urge everyone to respect the privacy of those involved," read the statement by filmmaker and writer Mkamzee Mwatela on behalf of the Ouda Family and fiance Ciru Muriuki.
