Seurei Vince Drugged with Rohypnol (“Mchele”), Sodomized, Then Dies by Suicide
In a disturbing turn of events, Seurei Vince, a former vocational student and father of two, died by suicide shortly after posting an emotional and detailed account on Facebook. In the post, Seurei alleged that he was drugged with Rohypnol (“mchele”) and sodomized by his former classmate Jonathan Ngetich, whom he met while studying at Sensei Institute of Technology.
Seurei was an alumnus of Kamagut High School, Class of 2014.
Facebook Suicide Note: The Post That Shocked Eldoret
“This is @Jonathan Ngetich. He’s from Kabianga and we met at @Sensei Institute of Technology. He poisoned me with Rohypnol famously called ‘mchele’ along with his friends.”
Seurei detailed the trauma he experienced and left goodbye messages to his parents, siblings, and two daughters, expressing deep regret that his dreams for a better future had ended in despair.
“To my 2 daughters, all I ever wanted was looking for a better future for you but I’m sorry that couldn’t happen.”
Shortly after publishing the post, which included a group photo showing both Seurei and the alleged perpetrator, he reportedly took his own life.
What Is “Mchele” (Rohypnol)?
In Kenya, Rohypnol, also called “mchele,” is a dangerous sedative often used in criminal activities such as theft and sexual assault. Victims typically lose consciousness and wake up confused, unaware of what happened.
Seurei’s allegations point to a serious case of male sexual violence, a rarely discussed but deeply traumatic issue in Kenyan society.
No Statement from Jonathan Ngetich or the Authorities
As of now, Jonathan Ngetich has not issued any public statement, and the police have provided no official confirmation regarding an investigation.
This silence has fueled public demand for a transparent, swift inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Seurei’s death.
Community Outcry and Mental Health Awareness
The case has gone viral across social media platforms, prompting:
-
Demands for justice and accountability
-
Conversations around male victims of sexual assault
-
Renewed urgency in mental health support for youth and students
Final Thoughts: A Cry for Help Too Late
This tragedy is a painful reminder that many young people, especially men, suffer in silence due to stigma, trauma, and lack of support. Mental health awareness, access to trauma counseling, and serious legal action against drug-facilitated crimes must be part of the national conversation.
