Samwel Maritim said the family still cannot accept the loss of the promising student, who died on Saturday, January 10.
“The vacation was long, and a lot of things happened during that time. She was in a relationship, and later we found out she was pregnant. We don’t want to jump to conclusions about whether she was sad or something else that caused her to die. We suspect the father of the child, but we haven’t followed it up fully yet,” he said.
Maritim remembered the painful day when the family lost Chemutai, explaining the last words he said before making every effort to save him..
What school was Chemutai studying in?
“He came to our house asking for help. He was in great pain and cried, ‘Please save me, I’m dying.’
We don’t know what happened because he wasn’t sick.
We immediately sought help and took him to the hospital, but to luck bad, he was pronounced dead. It was a deep sadness and sorrow for us.
“Until now, the family is still mourning and very affected. The year that should have been bright has been filled with tragedy. His parents are very sad and don’t know what to do,” he added.
Chemutai had planned to return to Chepkoiyet Secondary School to join the fourth form when he passed away.
The 22-year-old girl is expected to be buried on Friday, January 16, following a fundraiser expected to take place on Thursday, January 15, to help pay for the funeral expenses.
