NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 28 – Little was indicated in the three paragraph eulogy for Tirus Maina Gikonyo, the man who drowned in Juja dam while in the company of a female friend.
As is usually the norm, the tribute missed details on when he got married and how many children he sired.
Notably, the eulogy did not indicate how he met his unfortunate demise despite the many theories concerning his last moments.
“Celebrating the man who was loving and caring; The late Tirus Maina was born in February 1984 at Mukurweini, Nyeri County. He was the third-born son of the late Joseph Gikonyo and Madrin Wangui. He was a loving brother to Jedidah Wangari, the late Judy Wairimu, Michael Mbore, Joyce Wanjiru and Isaiah Mwangi” the euology read.
“The late started his school at Kariara Primary and moved to Rutune Primary then Dedan Kimathi University. The late Tirus relocated to Thika where he started working as an engineer since 2006 with different companies in and out of the country until his demise”it adds.
The burial took place on Friday at Gumba village in Mukurwe-ini constituency, Nyeri County.
Gikonyo drowned in Titanic dam in Juja with a lady identified as Fridah Warau Kamuyu.
He had packed his Nissan X-trail at the edge of the dam with police retrieving their bodies as well as the motor vehicle.
The location where the incident happened is a popular picnic site where revellers like to frequent and chill while engaging in merry-making.
