A man has died under mysterious circumstances inside a bus that was headed from Mombasa to Homa Bay County on Tuesday night.

Elisha Anyonyi, 23, was travelling to his rural home in Kanyamwa, Ndhiwa constituency with his wife and their two children.

One of the passengers narrated how they left Mombasa at 2pm but on reaching Mtito Andei, Elisha requested the driver to stop.

According to Eric Guoma, Elisha alighted from the bus and went to the bathroom.

When Elisha returned to the bus, he seemed distressed as he kept shifting in his seat.

His wife realised that Elisha was not well and pleaded with the conductor to stop the bus at the nearest hospital.

Her husband was complaining of chest pain and difficulty breathing.

However, her plea was ignored and they proceeded with the journey until they got to Kisii town where they realised that Elisha had died.

Homa Bay Sub County police boss Sammy Koskey confirmed the incident saying the wife revealed that her husband has been living with asthma.

The police boss further noted that the driver of the bus drove to Homa Bay Police Station where they removed the body from the vehicle.

The body is at the Homa Bay County Referral Hospital mortuary awaiting post-mortem.
