A grieving man from Kaplelach-koror village, West Pokot county, who lost his wife a few months ago, has shared fresh updates. How did Chepkorir die? Julius Losiakep Teletum became a widower after 20 years of marriage following his wife, Mercy Chepkorir’s death. Chepkorir, who had welcomed adorable triplets, collapsed and died at home after returning from the hospital. She left behind three three-week-old newborns, identified as Cheriwoi, Mengich, and Makal, in the hands of their father.
“The kids are doing well, and they are healthy and strong. They have been cared for well by their grandmother and other kind-hearted family members,” Teletum said. Teletum appreciates wellwishers However, the 44-year-old father of six more children noted that caring for the young children is difficult. He appealed for a job to care for the young family as he has been relying on help from good Samaritans.
“I want to appreciate the well-wishers for being there for me and my kids after my wife passed away. I have been feeding my triplets with NAN, but it is expensive, and I am not employed,” he heartbreakingly said. Teletum shares wife’s health details The father of nine shared that his 39-year-old wife was in good health before she suddenly passed away at home.
He said she did not have any complications or underlying health conditions when she was discharged. “The mother gave birth well, and we went to the hospital. Upon returning, she was overwhelmed, and she fainted late at night,” he said.
