Shock and grief engulfed a family in Siaya County after their kin collapsed and died while testifying in a land succession case at the Bondo Magistrate’s Court.
The deceased, identified as Charles Obonyo, was rushed to Bama Hospital (a private facility) after collapsing on Thursday, June 13 around noon, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
The incident was initially reported to Bondo Police Station by Mr. Dick Ochiel, the administrator of the Bondo law courts.
However, police say that they noted the absence of a formal report from the family to the police regarding the death.
The family reportedly took the body back home without filing a police report, leaving authorities with limited information about the incident.
The cause of Obonyo’s collapse and death remains unclear, and an investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding his passing.
