Mysterious Death of Kenya’s GSU Officer Enock Kimathi

Enock Kimathi, an officer of the General Service Unit (GSU) in Kenya, sadly passed away recently, less than two years after his graduation from the police academy.

Kimathi’s death took place in Meru County, a place he called home. While the exact cause of his death remains unknown as the post-mortem report is yet to be made public, his untimely demise has sent shockwaves through the local community and the police force.

From Viral Sensation to Bereavement

Kimathi rose to prominence in 2021 when a video featuring him and a group of police recruits went viral on social media.

In the video, the recruits were seen making threats towards Kenyans, a move that drew widespread criticism from the public and rebuke from the National Police Service bosses. The video made Kimathi a recognizable figure among the Kenyan populace, making his sudden death even more shocking.

News of Kimathi’s death sparked an outpouring of grief on social media, with friends and acquaintances expressing their condolences and sharing their memories of the young officer. Many lamented the loss of such a promising officer who was taken away too soon. Despite the controversy surrounding the viral video, Kimathi was remembered fondly by those who knew him, a testament to his impact on the lives of those around him.

Family Tensions Rise Amid Tragedy

Kimathi’s death has also stirred up familial tensions. His parents have accused his wife of neglecting their son, leading to a strained relationship between the two parties. Such accusations often arise in the wake of unexpected tragedies, as loved ones struggle to make sense of their loss. The tension underscores the profound impact Kimathi’s death has had on his family and the community at large.

Kimathi was laid to rest on Saturday, 16, 2023. The ceremony was an emotional affair, with attendees grappling with the untimely loss of a young and promising officer. Despite the controversy that marked his career, Kimathi will be remembered as a dedicated officer who was committed to serving his nation.
