2026 - Renowned Eldoret farmer, George Kili, and his family are once again
in mourning following the heartbreaking death of his daughter, June Chebet, in
Australia.
The tragedy comes less than two years after the family lost
their son, Rodney Kili, in a farm accident in Moiben, Uasin Gishu County.
In a statement, the University of Newcastle Community
Leadership confirmed that Chebet died on Monday, June 1st, while
receiving treatment at Calvary Mater Hospital in New South Wales, Australia.
“It is with profound sorrow and deep sadness that we
announce the passing of Ms. June Chebet Kili… while she was receiving
treatment,” the statement read.
Chebet had been pursuing her studies at the University of
Newcastle since 2024 and was eagerly anticipating her graduation scheduled for
June 26th, 2026.
Her passing has left family, friends and the wider community
devastated.
The Kili family’s grief is compounded by memories of Rodney, who died in October 2024 after being crushed by farm machinery.
