The search launched four days ago for Julius Tanui, 48, a senior official in the National Youth Service (NYS), has ended after he was found dead in his home.<\/p>\n
Tanui’s body was found in his home by relatives and friends who told police they had been unable to reach him by phone.<\/p>\n
He was a chief inspector based at the NYS headquarters on the busy Thika Super Highway.<\/p>\n
His friends and colleagues took to social media to mourn his death, describing him as a very understanding man.<\/p>\n
“Happy anniversary to me as I complete my second year as a trainee at NYS, but once again I mourn the passing of my recruit officer Afande Julius Tanui. Rest in peace,” said Mr Jeremy Dipo.<\/p>\n
Another colleague known as Mitei Manu also mourned Mr Tanui, saying he will forever remain in the hearts of many.<\/p>\n
“All the legends of 2017\/2018, let us pay our last respects to Afande Julius Tanui in Nandi County, Aldai Ward. RIP sir, you will remain in our hearts,” Mitei said.<\/p>\n
Nairobi News understands that his colleagues had to break down the door to his house where they found his body. It was lying on the bed.<\/p>\n
The main cause of his death is yet to be established, but police said there were no visible injuries on his body.<\/p>\n
This comes just a week after a senior National Intelligence Service (NIS) officer was found dead in his home.<\/p>\n
It later emerged that he had died by suicide and had been battling depression for some time.<\/p>\n
A police report filed at Kilimani police station said Tom Adala, 54, had left a suicide note.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Adala shot himself from the right side of the head with his Glock pistol, with the bullet exiting through the left side.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a family in the Kiamumbi area of Kahawa West refused to speak to the media about the death of their relative whose body was found next to a bar.<\/p>\n
The body was found by locals who immediately alerted the police.<\/p>\n
