Another strange death
The incident in Kilifi comes months after another bizarre death was reported in Kericho County.
In late January 2024, a 60-year-old man was found dead in a lodging.
The body of David Kiplangat Ronoh, an elder in a local church, was found in the lodging at Kapsoit trading centre.
Belgut sub-county police commander Charles Kibati said that the deceased was in the company of an unidentified young woman.
“He was found dead with no visible injuries. He had no clothes at the time,” police said.
The woman is said to have reported the matter to the establishment’s management before fleeing the premises.
Police officers from Kapsoit added that a used condom was found at the scene.
