Police are probing a tragic incident at a local concrete company in Makutano, Mwea Sub-County in Mbeere South Constituency, Embu County.
This is after a machine operator was tragically crushed to death in an accident.
According to the management of the concrete company, the 31-year-old man, identified as Joseph Ndichu, was one of the most experienced employees at the company.
“His expertise and dedication to his work had made him a valuable member of the team. We are distraught about the accident and are awaiting the official postmortem report for further details.”
Relatives of the deceased expressed their sorrow, with Lucy Njoki Kariuki, a close family member, struggling to come to terms with the loss.
“I cannot believe Joseph Ndichu is no more. He was not just a relative, but also a dependable pillar in our family. His loss is devastating,” Lucy said, visibly distraught.
