A troubling incident has raised serious concerns as authorities investigate the mysterious death of a truck driver found slumped over the steering wheel along the roadside in Kericho County. But here's where it gets controversial: the circumstances surrounding his death are unclear, and questions are mounting about what might have caused it, opening the door to various theories and opinions.
The deceased has been identified as Kimanzi Mulonzya, a 44-year-old man. According to reports, he was in the middle of a cargo run when tragedy struck. He had just delivered raw cooking oil to Uganda and was en route back to Nairobi on December 12, 2025. It was around 9 a.m. when he parked his trailer near Medhill Health Centre along the Kisumu-Kericho highway, a spot that often sees passing vehicles, but what happened afterward remains a mystery.
Neighbors and witnesses say that it was not until the following day, Saturday, that locals became concerned. They noted that they hadn’t seen the driver emerge from the truck, which was unusual. Concerned about what might have been going on, they reported their suspicions to the police. Upon inspection, law enforcement officials found the truck’s engine still running, with the driver’s body leaningly slumped in the steering area, and his head resting towards the back of the cabin bed.
Further examination of the scene revealed the presence of various medications typically used to treat ulcers, and surprisingly, a bucket containing sputum was also found in the driver’s cabin—raising questions about his health or possible illness. Authorities moved his body to the morgue for autopsy, while preliminary reports indicate the truck’s management was contacted for further investigation.
In another tragic event, a 15-year-old boy lost his life while swimming in Miriu River in Sondu, Kericho County. The incident occurred on Friday evening when he was among friends enjoying a swim. They quickly realized he had drowned and rushed to find help, eventually retrieving his body hours later. The community mourns this loss, and police have taken charge to handle the body and conduct necessary procedures.
Meanwhile, in Nairobi’s Kiberas slums, a 45-year-old man named Fred Omollo was found dead in his residence. His cause of death remains unclear, as investigations are still ongoing. His friend had reportedly noticed that Omollo was unwell when he found him motionless upon visiting his house. The body was taken to the mortuary, awaiting an autopsy to determine the cause.
Yet another distressing case comes from West Pokot, Marich area, where a 38-year-old man, identified as Daudi Pmatai Limasia, succumbed after being assaulted during an argument related to a circumcision event. The confrontation escalated into violence with sticks, leading to the man’s instant death. The police have since transferred his body to the morgue and are now investigating what appears to be a murder case. The attackers fled the scene once they learned of his death, prompting police to launch a search for those responsible.
These incidents highlight the ongoing challenges in maintaining safety and the importance of thorough investigations to uncover the true causes behind sudden deaths and violent acts.
