A man who tried to commit suicide twice has finally managed to kill himself.

Alfred Onyango died on Wednesday after consuming a bottle of pesticide.

According to his brother, Martin Oduor, the 27-year-old kept to himself.

His death came a day after Kenya marked the World Suicide Prevention Day.

A neighbour said Mr Onyango had earlier had an argument with a relative who had scolded him about his drinking habits.

In another incident, police in Kisumu are holding a man who tried to commit suicide, alleging that his wife was cheating on him.

The man reportedly destroyed some household items and set his house on fire.
