Two days after traveling to Kaumoni village in Matungulu, Machakos County from Nairobi, two lovers were found hanging side by side, dead.


Passersby said the couple has been living together in Nairobi’s Kayole estate for a year and arrived at their rural home on Friday after travel restraints from the capital were lifted by the President.


The bodies have been identified as Dennis Pius, 28, and his lover Susan Ndeto, 19.


Susan’s mother said that she went on a desperate search of her daughter after several calls went unanswered on Sunday morning, July 12.


The motive for the suspected suicide is unknown. The couple, according to neighbours, were seen chatting happily only to go mute inside their two-room house at about 1 pm.


However, teenager’s mother said the two had flown from Kayole.

The mother said she had been warning the girl against the relationship with the much older man.


The Sunday incident, which took place about 2 pm, was confirmed by assistant chief Ruth Mwende Ngungu.


The bodies were taken to Kangundo Level IV Hospital mortuary as investigations commence.


The strange occurrence comes barely six months after another couple was found dead inside their house in Nguluni location.

The Nguluni man took his life minutes after killing his love.
