The 30-year-old’s parents gave him permission to go for the graduation and even gave him some money to celebrate, but he preferred to stay at their Kipkelion East house.
Koech was discovered dead, possibly from an injection of a harmful drug, with a syringe stuck in one of his arms.
On Thursday, December 7, Peter Koech, 30, was one of the more than 22,600 graduates who was to receive their diplomas.
According to Citizen TV, he was claimed to have injected drugs into his body which eventually killed him.
The Chepseon Police Station investigators who are looking into Koech’s death said that he told his parents he was going to graduate with his classmates in Nairobi.
He then received some money from his father, a clinician in Kericho, to cover his graduation celebration expenses.
On Thursday, though, Koech stayed home instead of leaving and spoke with the watchman, asking for the key to one of their houses. The guard gave him the key, thinking that the now-deceased wished to relax.
Then, after entering his father’s house, he allegedly used the dug to inject himself. Everything was normal until the watchman went to check on the man the next morning and came upon his body.
A syringe, the contents of which are thought to have killed him, was discovered lodged in one of the arms.
The guard raised an alarm, and people nearby noticed, so they came with hope of bringing him to consciousness but was in vain, as he had already died
Prior to the postmortem, the body was transported by officers from the previous police station to the mortuary at Lipton Central Hospital.
