Medic
was missing for days before his body and lover were discovered, police say
A medical intern based at the Kisii Training and
Referral Hospital and his lover were missing for days before their bodies were found
dead at an apartment in Nyamataro area, Kisii County.
The medic identified as Vincent Nyambunde Bosire
is suspected of having killed the woman first before he died by suicide in the
house.
The woman was identified as Angela Moraa Ongeri,
28.
Bosire had been unwell and was admitted at the KTRH before being discharged from the facility on November 26.
He then went
missing as his mobile phone was off since then, his family and colleagues said.
Moraa was in Kisii for a short holiday as she
stayed in the US with her family, friends and relatives said.
The apartment the bodies were found in had been locked from inside.
The bodies were discovered Friday, November 29
and that of the woman was decomposing an indication she had died earlier on.
Police said that the body of the man was a bit fresh. Used syringes were found next to the bed in the house an indication they may have died out of injection of lethal poison.
The couple was found holding hands, with the woman's body showing signs of decomposition.
Evans Nyambunde,
Vincent’s cousin said the family became worried after several unsuccessful
attempts to reach him on phone.
They were then
forced to seek Bosire’s whereabouts at his workplace, where they were told
he had last been seen on Wednesday, November 27.
The man and woman were holding each other when
the bodies were found on bed, police said.
The motive of the incident is yet to be
established.
Detectives said they have asked pathologists to
come and take over the scene and help in establishing how they died.
The bodies are lying at the local mortuary pending
autopsy.
Murder and suicide are some of the leading causes of death in the country.
Police say the suicide trend has been worrying
and increasing as up to two cases are reported daily.
There are about eight murder cases reported
daily.
The
World Health Organisation says suicide cases are attributed to joblessness,
death, academic failures or pressures, legal difficulties and financial
difficulties.
Other reasons are bullying, previous suicide attempts, history of suicide in a family, alcoholism and substance misuse, depression and bipolar disorder.
