His body was discovered on November 14, raising serious concerns about the circumstances surrounding his death.
Initially, police speculated that Douglas may have drowned, but this claim has been challenged by officials from the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT).
They argue that the condition of his body suggests foul play. Eunice Bosco, the secretary of KNUT’s Rongo branch, described the state of Douglas's body as alarming.
She reported that he had severe injuries, including his eyes being gouged out and one ear missing.
His head also showed significant trauma, indicating that he could not have drowned under such conditions.
“The injuries on his body point to a violent attack, rather than accidental drowning,” Bosco stated confidently.
She called for a thorough investigation into the incident, noting that the community needs clear answers regarding what happened to Douglas.
The union has given authorities a 14-day deadline to identify and apprehend any suspects involved in his death.
If action is not taken, they have warned of potential protests.
The tragic loss of Douglas has sent shockwaves through the teaching community in Migori, where he was respected and well-liked.
Colleagues and students are mourning the loss of a dedicated professional who cared deeply about his work.
This incident comes during a critical time, as many teachers are supervising exams.
The fear created by Douglas’s death has left many in the profession anxious about their safety.
The KNUT officials have reiterated the need for better security measures for teachers, especially those tasked with supervising such important events.
