When the mother found the key the following morning, she thought his son had thrown the keys and left for church.
Fred’s mother was notified that there was to be a meeting at church on Friday morning that was allegedly called by his son.
When she found the keys on the balcony, she thought her son had already left. When she arrived at the church, Fred was not there.
That was when the church members told her it was her son who had called for the meeting but he was not picking up the phone. She called his number but there was no response.
One of the church members said something was not right and suggested they drove home and checked him in his house.
They drove back in a convoy and found Fred dead. There was no suicide notes.
According to friends, Fred was doing so well and had built his mother a nice bungalow.
They said he was a very jovial person and very close to her mother. He never showed any signs of depression or disturbance.
The postmortem will be conducted at Kenyatta University Hospital on Monday, August 28.
