Sydney Ogeto Ndege aged 21 from Birongo village, Rigoma in Nyamira County was a fourth-year student at the Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (Mmust). He was studying Environmental Science and had just finished his last paper prior to his mysterious death. He died barely five days after sitting for his last paper.
His decomposing body was found on Monday in his house at Kefinco estate in the outskirts of Kakamega town.
University Students president said the deceased was last seen on Friday at the university clearing with his departmental heads after completing his studies.
“His door remained closed for three days until yesterday (Monday) when an awful smell emanated from his rented house at Kefinco. The students broke the door and found his lifeless body lying on the bed. We don’t know what killed him so far,”
Lumala added
” We are asking the students to remain calm and wait for the postmortem report to ascertain what killed their colleague.”
In the past six months, there have been about 15 deaths on the premises of that particular University. This week alone, three students have died in mysterious ways.
“We are shocked at the rate at which we are losing students at Mmust. This week alone, we have lost three students under mysterious circumstances. This brings the total number of deaths for students, teaching and non-teaching staff to 15 who have died in the last six months,”
