She is reported to have taken her own life after a series of events that, according to relatives, left her overwhelmed, isolated, and under severe emotional stress.
Chemutai Koech, 40, had previously been living with her four children in the home she constructed.
Despite earning a six-figure salary at the bank, family members say her personal life was marked by persistent pressure and depression, culminating in what is being described as an unprecedented tragedy.
Chemutai Koech’s career had risen steadily, and she was later appointed to an executive role. She had resumed her responsibilities in June 2023, after transitioning into her new position.
However, those closest to her claim that professional stability did not translate into stability at home, where the relationship with her husband reportedly deteriorated rapidly.
According to a reliable source cited by the family, Chemutai Koech was forced out of the home she had built after her husband and his side allegedly moved against her shortly after completion.
The source claims she and her children were pushed out soon after, despite her significant investment in the property.
It is alleged that Chemutai Koech had borrowed a large sum of money to finance construction, only for the family to later find themselves locked out of the matrimonial residence.
Relatives further allege that the conflict began shortly after she returned to her husband’s home, with an argument said to have occurred around two weeks after she was diagnosed with depression.
The timing, the family says, is linked to the period when she had just taken on KCB duties connected to her role, including work linked to the bank’s presence in Mombasa.
