A couple has drowned in a dam at Toll area within Juja, Kiambu county after their car plunged into the dam in a suspected suicide case.
The lovebirds were making merry inside their car which they had parked near the dam before the incident occurred on Tuesday evening.
Revelers have been thronging the area for "park and chill" activities while indulging in merry-making.
According to witnesses, an argument broke out between the two and the man ignited the car and reversed into the dam.
Martin Ngugi, a diver, told the Star that they managed to retrieve the body of the middle-aged woman on Tuesday evening but failed to locate the man's body and the car.
However, they managed to locate the man's body and the car on Wednesday morning, Ngugi said.
"We only managed to retrieve the body of the woman. She had tried to swim and had moved towards the bank but didn't make it. We have already located where the car is and the man's body," Ngugi said.
The man's body was finally retrieved on Wednesday and taken to General Kago Funeral Home together with the woman's body.
By the time of going to press efforts to retrieve the car were ongoing.
Some residents called on the relevant authorities including the Kiambu county government to ensure the dam is fenced to avert such incidents.
