A tragic incident unfolded in Nyamira County as a retired teacher was discovered dead, hanging from a tree on a Sunday morning. However, the circumstances surrounding the death are shrouded in suspicion, as residents believe it was not a suicide but a staged scene in the forest.
According to reports from the family, the teacher had received a phone call instructing him to go to Kisii Town to collect a payment owed to him by a debtor. The teacher had sold a piece of land for Ksh2.5 million and a car for Ksh400,000, which he was expecting to receive from the debtor. The family noted that after leaving home, the teacher’s phone was turned off, and all attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.
When police officers arrived at the teacher’s home in Nyeri County, they discovered a coffin inside the house. The body was found alongside the teacher’s identification documents and an acid bottle on the ground, with some money also found next to the documents. The family suspects foul play and is urging law enforcement to thoroughly investigate the case.
The family is particularly keen on investigating the debtor, whom they see as a potential suspect in the teacher’s death. The teacher’s body has been taken to the morgue for an autopsy to determine the cause of death, while the family has requested a probe into the vehicle the teacher used.
This tragedy is not isolated, as it follows a similar incident in Limuru, Kiambu County, where a teacher was fatally stabbed in her home by an unknown assailant in broad daylight. These incidents highlight the vulnerability of individuals, even in their own homes, and the need for enhanced security measures to protect citizens.
As the investigation unfolds, the family of the deceased teacher anxiously awaits answers and justice for their loved one. They are hopeful that the truth will be unearthed, and those responsible will be held accountable for their actions. The community stands in solidarity with the grieving family, hoping for closure and a resolution to this heartbreaking loss.
