The 45-year-old was found dead after his colleague attempted to reach out to him on phone unsuccessfully.

A KDF officer based at Embakasi Garrison was on Sunday found dead in his house in a suspected suicide incident.

The 45-year-old was found dead after his colleague David Kimaru attempted to reach out to him on phone unsuccessfully.

A report indicates that the friends found something amiss in his failure to pick up phone calls and had to rush to his house to find what had happened.

It is then that they discovered that he had died with his body hanging from the rooftop on a rope.

Detectives who visited the scene suspect that the KDF soldier could have died earlier.

The body of the KDF officer was moved to the morgue.

The incident comes at a time when the government is intensifying calls for alternative dispute resolutions.

Cases of suicide have been on the rise in the disciplined forces, a matter that left many to worry about their security.

President Uhuru Kenyatta is on record urging the disciplined forces to maintain calm and seek solutions when they feel aggrieved instead of taking the law into their own hands.
