Campus student drowns while taking selfies in river Chepkulo
A second-year student from Bomet University College has swept away while trying to take a perfect picture with his twelve friends at the Chepkulo River's Kimaya Waterfall.
They had gone for a picnic at the waterfall and a swim. The 24-year-old was reportedly advancing to a deeper side for a better photo position after visiting with twelve other friends for a picnic tour on Sunday evening.
Chepalungu Sub-County police boss Nelson Masai confirmed the incident, saying the students may have underestimated the depth of the waterfall and decided to take a chance. The body of the youth has not been found after a two-day search. And his twelve victims have yet to be identified so that the police and take their statements.
