23-year-old Mr Joseck Tome Makori, is said to have tested HIV positive at a VCT centre.
According to a suicide letter the deceased left behind to his parents, Makori claims that he does not know how and when he contracted the HIV virus and also requests them to complete the dowry ceremony for his wife.
The suicide letter read as follows:
“I don’t know where I acquired this disease from. I have died but I wish my whole family well. I plead with my mother and father not to forget to pay dowry for my wife. The money you were to buy iron sheets with, please, use it to buy two cows and pay dowry for my wife so that my genealogy can be remembered,”
Makori also bid farewell to his six siblings and hopes to meet them again in future “when God comes.”
The body is lying at Nyamira District Hospital mortuary.
The incident happened on Friday.
