Teenager Found Dead in Borehole

The body of a 19-year-old teenager, Thomas Ariba, was found in a borehole in the Boigesa area of Nyamache, Kisii county, on Wednesday morning.

Ariba had a strand of a mosquito net tied around his neck, raising suspicion that he died by suicide. Villagers began looking for him on Wednesday morning after he failed to turn up at home on Tuesday evening.

Nyamache OCPD Kipkulei Kipkemboi confirmed that the body was taken to Nyamache Hospital morgue for an autopsy. He said that the police are treating the incident as suicide, but investigations are still ongoing.

This is a tragic incident, and our thoughts are with Ariba’s family and friends during this difficult time.
