Frank Obegi, a well-known writer, influencer more popular among Kenyans on Twitter (KOT), was one of the four horribly mutilated bodies discovered by Lari locals in Kijabe on Monday, June 20.
The family said they last spoke to the deceased on Tuesday, June 14, when Obegi was last seen and that his social media accounts had been removed for unknown reasons.
“This morning, I got the news from a friend who was close to him and knew where he was. He had been missing since Tuesday, according to the lady who notified me of his death, who went to City Mortuary and confirmed that it was him. That was the last time he was spotted online, and it was also the last time I heard from him,
“I discovered that he had been inactive on social media after learning of his death. His social media accounts have subsequently been erased, despite the fact that he was quite active on them,” Lyton, the deceased’s brother said.
