Dr Collins Matemba, a psychologist at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST), links the recent spate of deaths in the region to the concept of jinxes.

A jinx is a superstition or belief that certain objects, people, or situations bring bad luck or cause a series of unfortunate events.
