Pastor found dead a day before his wedding in Kenya

Fred Gitau, a 30-year-old pastor and online taxi driver, was found dead in his house a day before his wedding in Kenya. 

Gitau was set to marry his long-time fiancé, Joyce Waithira, on August 26, 2023, at Deliverance Church Kahawa Sukari. 

However, he was discovered dead in his home on August 25, with white foam coming out of his mouth. The cause of his death could not be immediately established.

According to a journalist, Simon Mythiora, Fred was dropped home by a friend on Thursday night. 

Earlier in the evening, Fred is alleged to have texted his sister, telling her that ‘if anything ever happened to him, they should ask a certain person. 

It was gathered that Gitau was locked in his house by an unknown person who threw the keys to his mother’s balcony. 

When the mother found the key the following morning, she thought her son had thrown the keys and left for church.

Fred’s mother was notified that there was to be a meeting at church on Friday morning that was allegedly called by his son. 

When she found the keys on the balcony, she thought her son had already left. When she arrived at the church, Fred was not there. 

That was when the church members told her it was her son who had called for the meeting but he was not picking up the phone. 

She called his number but there was no response. One of the church members said something was not right and suggested they drove home and checked him in his house. 

They drove back in a convoy and found Fred dead. There was no suicide note.

According to friends, Fred was doing well and had built his mother a nice bungalow. They said he was a very jovial person and very close to his mother. 

He never showed any signs of depression or disturbance. The postmortem will be conducted at Kenyatta University Hospital on August 28, 2023.

Despite the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death, the police are yet to make any arrests. The case is still under investigation, and the police are gathering strong evidence before making any arrests.
