The key suspect in Kimtai’s murder was identified as Eric Kiptoo Kipsang who is said to have dropped the deceased’s body before speeding off.
After his arrest, Kiptoo is said to have complained of chest pains which prompted police to rush him to the hospital.
He later passed on Sunday, March 26.
Ainabkoi OCPD Alois Muthoka, said Kiptoo attempted suicide at a nearby dam, and appeared to be under influence of drugs.
“The suspect was received by the police with deep cuts on both hands,” he said.
The minor’s family has now began funeral plans and has asked philanthropists and the government to help them as his mother is incapacitated.
