Teacher Commits Suicide After Losing Money In Betting

A teacher at Nyamira Boys High School in Kenya has reportedly taken his own life following a substantial loss in an online casino bet.

Kevin Omwenga, a Chemistry and Mathematics instructor, was identified as the deceased, according to Area Assistant Chief Johnson Manyara.

Citizen Digital reports that Omwenga, who was known to be an avid player of the Aviator betting game, had accrued significant debt, estimated at around Ksh50,000 ($380). Much of this debt was borrowed from fellow teachers, and a major portion of these funds was lost while playing the game.

Assistant Chief Manyara confirmed that Omwenga had borrowed a substantial sum but lost most of it through the Aviator game.

Principal George Onkundi of Nyamira Boys School mentioned that Omwenga was last seen near the school on Wednesday but did not attend work. Although he was not yet officially employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Omwenga had been teaching under the Board of Management (BOM) for the past four years. The principal noted that Omwenga had not exhibited any signs of distress.

Concern arose when calls to Omwenga’s phone went unanswered on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. This prompted some colleagues to visit his residence to check on him.

After repeated attempts to contact him, they peered through a window and discovered Omwenga’s body hanging.

The police and the area assistant chief were subsequently notified and arrived at the scene.

Omwenga’s wife and their one-year-old child were away visiting his ailing mother in the village at the time of the incident. The body was later transported to Nyamira Referral Hospital.
