Meru: Prison warder commits suicide

Meru: Prison warder commits suicide
January 15, 2019 Eastern Newspaper
By John Majau.

A prison warder at Meru GK Prison has reportedly committed suicide, after taking poison.

Mr Edward Mwenda was found lying unconscious in a farm by fellow warders and rushed to the Meru Level Five hospital where he died while undergoing treatment.

The officer who is in his early 40s is said to have earlier this month threatened to take his life citing family problems but was restrained.

Fellow officers described him as a sociable man but had of late become reclusive, spending most of his off duty moment alone.

“He was very excited after his first born was admitted to join high school but started being withdrawn. He was found in the farm lying and was rushed to the hospital after they reported to their office,” one of his colleagues said.

But speaking on phone, Meru GK prison boss David Ndumu said Mr Mwenda succumbed following “an illness.”

He however did not give any further details.
