A middle aged man in Kiambu County hanged himself to death
yesterday. The man, only identified as Njogu was a well known shoe trader in
the area. It is believed the couple had been quarreling over the last few weeks
over something the neighbours couldn’t tell. However, a reliable source has
mentioned of the deceased complaining of denial of his “rights” at a local
drinking den while they enjoyed “Muratina”, their favourite local brew. The
deceased was overheard talking to himself that if he was denied the rights
again, he was going to do something that no one will ever forget. The friends
rubbished all that and knew that it was only alcohol taking toll on Njogu and
that he will be well the next morning.
However, the next day came and the trader was nowhere to be
seen. A hunt to ascertain his whereabouts was initiated by his wife who
wandered around drinking dens to check on the husband who was supposed to
provide money for food. Without success, they kept looking but Njogu could not
be traced, only to be found when vultures and hawks were spotted piling up on a
nearby bush as darkness set in. On rushing to the scene, the villagers were
shocked when they found the deceased dangling on a thorny tree by his neck. His
body lies at the county’s morgue awaiting postmortem evaluation.
