For nearly two decades, Geoffrey was a familiar face to people around the Caltex area in Kericho. A quiet man who earned his living through manual labour and rarely attracted unnecessary attention.

But behind the familiar face was a story that few people knew in its entirety. Now, following his tragic death in a hit-and-run accident, the people who knew him are struggling with an even bigger mystery: where is his family?

Geoffrey reportedly relocated to Kericho from Nakuru in 2008, following the post-election violence that rocked parts of Kenya.

Over the years, he established friendships with people in the neighbourhood and became a familiar presence in the area.

Sadly, his life came to an end on Sunday, October 4, following a reported hit-and-run accident involving a driver alleged to have been drunk.
