On July 12, 2019, a tragic incident occurred at Egerton University's main campus in Njoro, where a fifth-year student was found dead under unclear circumstances.
David Ongeri, an electrical and control engineering student, was discovered dead in his rental house at Egerton Gate estate.
According to Njoro sub-county Police Commander Mr Mohammed Huka, the body was found by a neighbor who went to check on Ongeri after he failed to turn up.
"It is sad to learn of the death of one of the students killed for no clear reasons," Huka stated.
The postmortem examination revealed a deep cut on the neck, face, head, and hands.
The police have taken the body to Egerton University morgue for further investigation.
Henry Mulyungi, the institution's student leader, has called on the police to commence investigations and bring the assailants to book.
At the time of his death, Ongeri had completed his project and was expected to proceed on industrial attachment.
