• The couple had gone on vacation.

• The tide overpowered Derick and no one was able to save him.

A man who drowned while in vacation in Diani, has been discovered sadly after a video showing his last location captured attention.

A couple named Beth and Derrick Githeki were on holiday in Diani and it is said he was spotted drowning in a video shared by another holiday goer.

In that holiday Goers video, we see how huge the waves were, pushing against the shoreline as he struggled to save himself.

Beth Linet on her tiktok, mourned her man Derrick with pictures of their last moments together.

"Derrick saa narudi home peke yangu??why????am shuttered beyond words..nani ataniita wanie dero?"

They were spending time together in the beach "Babe why though" she cried in the slide of pictures.

In another video showing Derrick waving a the ocean, Beth indicated her sorrow at his fate

"The waves were too angry yet u just wanted to have fun..you are a beautiful angel now.."

"We watched this full moon knowing the dangers it was holding...wish I had the knowledge i have now abt the full moon" she mourned Derrick.
