Abel Mutua, an award-winning scriptwriter and actor, is in mourning following the untimely death of a loved one.

The father of one, mourning a young man who had clearly meant so much to him, vaguely shared the news of his loss on his Instagram page to his over 681k fans and followers.

Abel, also known as Mkurugenzi, chose to remain silent about who had died and what had caused their death.

The 'Click Click Bang' director shared the sad news by posting a photo of a police land cruiser packed at a petrol station in a rural-like area, followed by a eulogy for the deceased.

"In this truck lies the lifeless body of a once vibrant young man whose life has been tragically cut short at the tender age of 23," part of Abel's emotional caption read.
