A man in Elgeyo Marakwet County committed suicide after his wife delivered twins.

The 34-year-old man killed himself by drowning after he jumped into a well at his Katalel home over the weekend.

The main is said to have complained since his wife gave birth to the twins two weeks ago, saying the responsibility of raising the family was weighing him down.

According to Katelel West assistant chief Luka Ruto, providing for the family may have prompted the action.

"He jumped into a well in his compound and was already dead by the time area residents arrived to rescue him. He had no mental problems," he said.

"The man had not quarrelled with his wife and neighbours," he said.

He added police are investigating the case.
