Eldoret - Great sorrow has engulfed social media users following the heartbreaking story of a young man.

Kenneth Kiplagat Ng'etich went missing on Tuesday, September 3, around 11.05am after donating blood.

Kiplagat was to start new job

His brother, Boniface Too, said he last spoke to him at 10.52am after Kiplagat told him he was heading to his place.

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Too said Kiplagat was heading home to prepare before he travelled.

"He was to start a job at Kaimosi Vocational Training Centre in Vihiga county in a few days. When I tried to reach him, and he was not picking up the call, I was worried because he was not the kind of person who was dodgy. I even tracked his phone later and saw the device was within town, but there was not much of a lead," he said.

Where was Kiplagat found dead?

According to a post by Lemiso Media House, the 28-year-old was found dead at a lodge in Senior (Maili Nne), just behind Khetias Supermarket, Eldoret City.

Kiplagat shared the family was carrying out a postmortem on his brother to uncover more information about their kin.

"We have a lot of questions about the death," he painfully shared.
