Kenyan Catholic Priest Commits Suicide by Taking Poison in a Lodging Room
A Catholic priest was on Sunday night found dead at a lodging in Makueni after allegedly committing suicide.
The lifeless body of Father Stephen Kyalo was discovered in a lodging room at Kilala shopping center in Kaiti, Makueni County.
The priest is said to have booked the room at around 8:00 am on Sunday and ordered beer worth Sh1,600.
He remained in the room throughout the day without ordering food or more drinks which made the facility’s attendants suspect that something was amiss.
At around 8:00 pm, they knocked on the door but there was no response, prompting them to alert officers from the nearest police station.
When police broke into the room, they found Father Kyalo’s lifeless body, having taken what is suspected to be poison. The motive behind the suicide remains unclear.
The deceased’s body was moved to Makueni Hospital morgue as investigations into the matter continue.

Our mental health is in a crisis! Sadly, no body cares when people talk of their problems! We need to take this very seriously! So saddening indeed! RIP sir.
Chances are this poor soul broke the Vow of Obedience by knocking up a girl and did not have the courage of facing his bishop, his cardinal, Pope Jorge Mario Bergoglio, FIDA, and the community. The Catholic Church needs to move away from the medieval practice of celibacy and embrace the age of the cell phone.
He lived pathetic life without any sex bought beer and found all was lies , you can have sex and serve God.
Nothing in the article indicates that the man of the cloth has sexual issues.That is either impregnation some woman,or starving sexually. Anything else is merely guess work.That said, priesthood is not forced on anyone. There is no reason for the Catholic church to change the celibacy clause.Priest know very well what they are getting into. The choice is theirs.If you thing you cannot abide by the rules of the church,just step down.
As for why he committed suicide,lets wait and see what evidence will expose.
@ Maximiley; I did not suggest he had any sexual concerns. i said "chances are".
what percentage do you put those changes at 20% ^77%,80%...
I guess there is also a change, he was tired of living for what ever reason Right?
@Maxiley. I would definitely put those chances at 100% since he decided he no longer wants to be with the living.
Dini bandia za kigeni hazifai kuendelea kukua miongoni mwetu. Zimewaathiri na kuwapotosha wengi hasa walio wanyonge na pia walio rahisi kupigwa masasa.
Mental health struggles are personal, while some pull through to see a brighter day there those who are afflicted and see no way but to release themselves of their personal pain.🕊️
Rest easy... Poleni sana!
