A group of students who were reported to have fled the scene of the accident at Chepkiit falls (Mlango Falls) yesterday where a fellow student drowned to death have refuted the claims, adding that they were part of the rescue team.
The deceased student who has been identified as Geofrey Kibet Kirui (Department of Kiswahili and Other African Languages) and a fourth year in the School of Arts and Social Sciences in Moi University – Main Campus, slipped into the water. He clung to a rock for some time in an effort to stay afloat before he gave in. Speaking to the 3rd Eye this morning, Kericho University Students Association (KEMUSA) officials stated that there was miscommunication over the incident.
The association members had visited the site for a picnic. Efforts to rescue him from fast flowing river were futile. His body was swept away by the water and was found floating two kilometres away from the drowning point, with fatal head injuries.
The group called upon the Red Cross team which helped retrieve the body from the river.
