Sorrow as Kenyan man is found dead in US apartment
In a previous story, Evans Kibiwott's family in Elgeyo Marakwet county is also mourning his death.
The young man who had not shown up to work was sadly found dead in his house, and that raised many questions for people both at home and abroad.
Apparently, Kibiwott was so dedicated to his work that his absence raised eyebrows among many people.
