A family in Nakuru was left heartbroken after their son died moments after he graduated.

27-year-old Simon Mbugua drowned at a swimming pool where he had gone with friends to celebrate his academic achievement after graduating from the Rift Valley Institute of Business Studies.

Mbugua’s father, Mr. James Kanyutu said he was heartbroken by the turn of events.

“I have struggled a lot to see him graduate and now, even before the family can enjoy the fruits, he has gone,” Kanyutu said.

The family demanded answers from the hotel on what actually happened.

“We demand justice for our sons. How can such a big hotel lack lifeguards?” Mbugua’s uncle Mr. Charles Warue was heard saying.
