Tuesday, 25 February 2025 - The family of Daniel Amaya, the Embu university student whose body was found floating in a dam within the institution's compound on Saturday, is demanding a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
Their calls for further inquiries come after a postmortem
examination conducted at Embu Level 5 Hospital indicated that the 22-year-old
second-year student had died from drowning.
His family, however, remains unconvinced by the preliminary
findings and insists that more must be done to establish how he ended up in the
dam.
Speaking after the autopsy, the deceased’s elder brother,
Josphat Amaya, questioned the circumstances of his death, ruling out the
possibility of suicide.
He stated that their only concern now is to uncover the
truth, which would bring them peace of mind.
The search for Daniel had begun on Wednesday after reports
of his disappearance.
His family, who travelled from Kisii, spent three days
looking for him before being informed on Saturday that a body had been spotted
in a dam within the university.
The discovery of his remains added to the grief and
uncertainty they had been enduring since he went missing.
In a separate incident, two days before Daniel’s body was
retrieved, another student was found dead within the university premises,
having taken his own life by hanging.
The back-to-back deaths have left students and the
surrounding community in shock, with growing concerns over student welfare and
security at the institution.
Embu West Sub-County Police Commander Zacharia Omae has
confirmed both deaths and assured that investigations are ongoing to establish
the full circumstances behind them.
He urged students and the public to remain calm as
authorities work to unravel the cause of the tragedies.
The police commander also encouraged students struggling with personal challenges to seek help, pointing to the need for stronger mental health support systems within the university.
