A family in Kericho is mourning the sudden death of their son Duncan Kiplagat whose body was recovered three days after going missing.
Kiplagat who hailed from Chemitan village in Litein, Bureti Constituency was the sole breadwinner in the family. This has left his mother Lili Mutai devastated.
He would often pay the school fees for his siblings and provide for the family. Leaving a huge hole in the family.
This has caused some difficult questions for the family and have turned to authorities to find out more.
"I was told by one of my colleagues who was travelling from Kericho that they found his body," Mutai said.
The family are struggling to come to terms with this.
When relatives arrived at the scene, the family said the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) were already there. However, the family have yet to be given any official statement about what happened.
With this devastating news, Mutai has appealed to the relevant authorities such as the Ministry of Interior to investigate fully so those responsible can be brought to justice.
"He was our pillar. I am just hurting because we have lost someone who took responsibility to help us," she said.
Kipsitet Police Commander Sam Kasini admitted the family's concerns but said they should allow the investigators to do their work.
"We have DCI looking into it," he added. The family hopes this investigation will provide some clarity.
