Shock and grief engulfed Simat village in Kapsaret sub county, Uasin
Gishu County after a police officer hanged himself over domestic
squabbles.
The deceased, Constable Kiplagat Koskei, attached to Eldoret Central
police station is said to have committed suicide after finding out
that his estranged wife was cheating on him.
Eldoret West Police boss Edward Masibo who described the officer as
disciplined and hardworking said the deceased has been having marital
problems with his wife for a long time.
“The officer had resorted to alcohol abuse after discovering that his
wife had been unfaithful to him and it is unfortunate that we lost him
through such circumstances,” said Masibo.
Speaking to the media in his office, Masibo called on people including
police officers to learn to share their family problems and challenges
in life with others so that they can be assisted instead of rushing to
commit suicide.
“Sometimes it is good to share one’s problems with others so that you
can be assisted instead of resorting to taking your own life,” advised
Masibo.
According to the neighbors, the deceased has been accusing his wife of
infidelity leading to a fight in the house on a daily basis.
“The officer has been having a misunderstanding with his estranged
wife for a long time leading to a fist fight which we had been accustomed to
as a normal family issue. But we did not know it will lead to the
man committing suicide,” said one of Nyumba kumi members in the area
who declined to be named.
The police boss said the body of the officer was transported from the
scene of crime to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary.
