The late sergeant Kipyegon Kenei’s father, John Chesang has called on the government to fast track investigations into the death of their kin, adding that they are certain he did not kill himself.
Speaking to a local daily, Chesang intimated that the family is still in pain from their kin’s mysterious death hence they need the case solved for the pain caused to go away.
“We don’t understand what happened but what we know is that my son never killed himself. He was a vibrant and jovial young man, full of life and with great plans. Whoever killed him will know no peace. All we ask the government is to fast track the investigation. We call upon the government not to abandon us,” Chesang told the daily.
