A sorrowful mood hangs over Roberts village in Soy sub location, Likuyani sub county after a 52 year old man drowned in Kipsangui stream. Confirming the incident, Soy sub location assistant Chief Cornelius Luseno Lusava said the deceased, Daniel Barasa Luengele, was attempting to cross through the stream when he slipped and drowned.
He said the late had left home with one of his sons heading to Nangili market in the neighbouring Kongoni sub location where he spent the day and even introduced his son to the residents.
Later in the afternoon the son returned home leaving him at Nangili where he stayed until late in the evening and chose to cross through the stream before he drowned.
Combined efforts by the police and residents led to the retrieval of the body at about 8pm and it was taken to his home for burial after the family claimed to have no complain about his death.
Luseno has urged residents to be careful and not to risk their lives by crossing through streams especially during this rain season.
