Directorate of Criminal Investigations detectives are looking into a possible suicide that occurred in Kangundo, Machakos County.
After the decaying body of a doctor’s intern was found in his rented house in the Kangundo sub-county on Saturday, detectives immediately began looking into the case.
Police reported that the body of Fredrick Wambua was discovered hanging in the man’s bedroom.
Michael Singa, the deputy police commander for the Kangundo sub-county, stated that the event occurred somewhere around 1300.
According to Singa, the deceased was an intern at Kangundo Level 4 hospital while attending medical school at Moi University.
Reports of a suicide by one of the interns at Kangundo Level 4 Hospital led police to the residential area where Dr. Fredrick Wambua, 29, was living, Singa told reporters on Saturday.
Singa claimed the rotting corpse was discovered on a hook in the wall.
He said that top-level police officers from the Kangundo sub-county had visited the scene and confirmed the event.
According to Singa, a note found at the scene is thought to be a suicide note written by the victim.
After processing the scene, officers sent the deceased to the Kangundo Level 4 hospital mortuary for an autopsy, he said.
The contents of the suicide note have not been made public by the police.
The intern likely used an electrical line to hang himself. He was a loner who never had any housemates.
After disappearing for some time, the deceased was found dead. His absence from the office lasted for several days.
