A Catholic Catechist at St. Patrick Church, Sammy Tarus Maiyo, was swept away by stormwater Eveready roundabout along the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway.

According to eyewitnesses, he was riding his motorbike home on Tuesday evening when the raging water pushed him into a deep gully.

“A search for his body was launched soon after the rains subsided at about 10:00 pm am his motor bike was left at the scene,” said a resident, Patrice Ondiek.

Further, he revealed that the body was retrieved downstream at midnight and removed to Nakuru County Mortuary.

Maiyo was a senior catechist at St. Patrick’s Ngata Parish and the chairman of all catechists in Nakuru Diocese.
