Catholic Priest Found Dead In Hotel Room After Ordering For Whiskey

One Father Stephen Kyalo has been found dead in a hotel room in Kenya.

The clergyman who was reportedly serving in Kako area in Makueni Parish, had booked a room at a local hotel at Kilala Market at about 8:00 am last Sunday.

Reports by the hotel management revealed that the deceased had ordered whiskey worth ksh1,600 and locked himself in the room for hours.

Kyalo reportedly remained in his room the whole day without making any more orders. This prompted the hotel attendants to check on the priests at night hour.

Naija News learnt after many attempts to get access to the room proved abortive which resulted in the hotel management seeking the police service to break the door, where they found Kyalo dead.

The priest is said to have committed suicide by taking poison.

Speaking on the incident, Makueni Sub County Police Commander, Timothy Maina, said they recovered a poisonous substance that the priest reportedly swallowed.

Maina said; “It is believed that he ingested a poisonous substance while in the room. We recovered some remains of the substance and a Red Label Whiskey bottle.”

The motive behind Kyalo’s decision remains unclear. His remains, however, has since been moved to Makueni Hospital Morgue awaiting postmortem as further investigations commence.

Meanwhile, the Facebook profile bio of the killer of five-year-old, Hanifa Abubakar, Abdulmalik Tanko has caught the attention of social media users.
