Two men including a quarry worker have committed suicide in separate incidents in Naivasha town.
In the first incident, a lorry driver was found dead in a lodging after drinking a lethal chemical.
The man was discovered by lodge workers after he failed to respond to knocks on his door, forcing the management to break the door.
Next to his bed were a concoction of drugs and pesticide, which police suspect he took.
A witness James Kairu said the man checked in the hotel on Thursday evening alone, saying he would leave the following day. Meanwhile, a 24-year-old quarry worker committed suicide by hanging himself in Maraigushu village.
Area Chief Peter Irungu said the deceased had been acting strangely and had just returned from work. “His relatives went to check on him only to find he had hanged himself,” he said.
