Shock and grief have engulfed students and residents in Uasin Gishu County following the sudden death of a Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) student under circumstances that are now being investigated by police.
The deceased, identified as Sharon Nyongesa, was reportedly on medical attachment at a health facility in the area before the tragic incident happened. According to preliminary reports, the 25-year-old was staying at a guest house near Mosombor trading centre on the night she died.
Reports circulating online claim that she had spent the night in the company of an older man identified as Stanley Kipkemei. Authorities have not yet publicly confirmed the full details surrounding the events leading to her death.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that alarm was raised after the student allegedly became unresponsive inside the room during the early morning hours. Efforts were reportedly made to rush her to a nearby medical facility, but she was declared dead upon arrival.
Detectives later visited the scene as part of ongoing investigations aimed at establishing what exactly happened before the student’s death. Police officers subsequently transferred the body to the mortuary at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital where a postmortem examination is expected to provide further answers.
Friends and fellow students have since mourned Nyongesa as a determined young woman who had ambitions of building a successful career in the medical field. Several classmates described her as friendly, hardworking, and focused on her studies.
