Former Kericho MCA and politician Benard Mutai found dead inside his house in Ainamoi Sub-County.
Police officers in Kericho County have launched a probe into the death of the former Kipchimchim Ward Member of County Assembly Benard Mutai.
Mutai was reportedly found dead inside his house on Thursday evening at Taiwet Sub-location in Ainamoi Sub-County.
While confirming the tragic occurrence, Taiwet Sub-location Assistant Chief Philemon Kosei revealed that the deceased’s body was found lying inside his bedroom.
According to reports, the politician’s death could have been self-inflicted.
However, police officers noted that investigations were already underway to unravel the root cause of the incident.
Benard Mutai served as Kipchimchim MCA for two terms from 2013 to 2022 when he quit politics.
Locals who mourned the politician termed him a passionate and committed leader who worked tirelessly for Kipchimchim residents.
The death of the former MCA, who was nicknamed ‘Surveyor’ by the locals, left many questioning what could have triggered his decision to take his own life.
