The lifeless body of 45-year-old Joseph Gathogo, a teacher at Muhoya Secondary School, was retrieved by police from the rental house at Ihururu Shopping Centre on Thursday, January 12, 2023.

The teacher is believed to have placed himself inside a coffin he reportedly made after which he ingested an identified poison.

A bouquet of flowers, a black flag and scrolls written in weird writings, and a cow horn had been placed near the boat-like structure.

Njama reported the case of his missing tenant to the Ihururu police post when they still could not trace him.
