Kenyan musician and businesswoman Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has broken her silence to share unexpected details regarding the late Elvis Opiyo.
The deceased was the prime suspect in a shocking acid attack involving SDA gospel singer Mary Claire Ochieng.
The case had captured the attention of the public before taking a dramatic turn with his sudden demise.
Taking to her social media pages, the vocal artist confirmed that she shared a biological connection with the deceased.
According to Akothee, she only discovered this information recently through a close family member. She disclosed that her mother informed her about their lineage, revealing that Elvis was a relative hailing from Kodero Bara.
The singer expressed deep sadness over the tragic end of the young man, noting that she learned about his passing on the very day he was being laid to rest.
In her emotional post, she described him as a disciplined individual who overcame an early childhood of losing parents to build a life for himself.
He was known as a passionate church singer, though his life was privately shadowed by underlying emotional wounds.
Elvis Opiyo, a former National Intelligence Service officer, allegedly took his own life in his Nairobi residence while out on bail.
His death effectively halted the legal proceedings against him, leaving Kenyans with numerous unanswered questions surrounding the tragic events.
