A 34-year-old man committed suicide on Sunday evening at his home in Katalel, Keiyo North.
He is said to have jumped into a borehole barely two weeks after his wife gave birth to twins.
Rescue efforts were underway but he had already passed away.
Katalel West assistant chief Luka Ruto said the man may have decided to take his own life after it became difficult to provide for the twins.
“He jumped into a borehole in his compound. He had no mental problems but he may have faced challenges catering for the twins,” he said.
“The deceased had not quarreled with his wife or neighbours.”
Police took the body to Iten County Referral Hospital mortuary and launched a probe.
Ruto urged residents to confide in friends and relatives whenever they have domestic problems.
