According to his brother Nixon Chemjor, his brother met with him last Friday before going back to work on Saturday

The deceased was reported called his brother Nixon midnight and told him to take care of his family.

The deceased brother also noted that after the call he did not have peace of mind and in the morning he called him but the call went unpicked.

The wife to the deceased could not control her emotions since the burden of bringing up 15 children was all now by herself

She added that he had problems of fees and also problems at home which was hard for him to handle.

According to assistant Chief of Kapropita James Chemweny, the deceased had some frustration due to fees since he had three children in high school and could not afford for all of them.

He however warned the area residents not to regrettable action in their hands but rather report and see how it could be solved.

Ambrose Kandie a relative and also a neighbor said that the government should consider how they handle salary of police officers since many of them have committed suicide due to salary frustrations
