The man who contested the Bomet East parliamentary seat in 2017 General Election against her mother has died barely two years after the uniquely interesting contest.
The Bomet East MP Beatrice Kones’s son died after he allegedly committed suicide at his home in Kiamunyi estate, outskirts of Nakuru town.
According to doctors at War Memorial Hospital in Nakuru, Collins Kipyegon died at the Intensive Care Unit where he was rushed to after taking a poison.
The doctor added that he was received at the hospital with breathing difficulties.
“He was rushed here early morning for having taken poison and doctors did all they could do to save his live but unfortunately he died,” said a doctor on condition of anonymity.
A friend who spoke on condition of anonymity said Kipyegon who lived with his wife has been having family issues.
“He has been having marital issues which we suspect drove him to commit suicide,” he said.
It was not immediately established the exact domestic issues that resulted to the suicide.
