Following the tragic incident, Kenyans took to social media to share their sympathy and offer messages of support to Derrick's family and Beth.

Beth herself took to TikTok to express her heartbreak, sharing emotional tributes to her late lover.

In one post, she wrote: "The waves were too angry, yet you just wanted to have fun. You are a beautiful angel now. Dero why? Gone too soon."

In another post, Beth conveyed her despair at the thought of returning home alone without Derrick.

She wrote: "Derrick saa narudi home pekee yangu? Why? Am shattered beyond words. Nani ataniita wanie dero?" (Derrick, now I am going back home alone? Who will call me ‘dero’?).

Linet later revealed in another post that if she had known the dangers of the full moon, they wouldn’t have gone to the beach.

"We watched this full moon without knowing the dangers it holds. Wish I had the knowledge I have now about it," she wrote.

Derrick Githeki’s last post raises questions

Adding a layer of mystery to the tragedy, a video Derrick posted on his TikTok account before his death has left many wondering if it was a premonition of the events to come.

In the video, Derrick made a reference to Chiromo Mortuary. He mentioned mixing different types of alcohol, saying: "After kumix keg ya black na chrome before ujipate Chiromo" (After mixing Keg and chrome, just before finding yourself at Chiromo).

In the video, Derrick covered himself with a blanket and closed his eyes, symbolising a sense of finality.

Many Kenyans speculated about the meaning behind his words, with some suggesting that Derrick might have had a premonition about his fate.

As Beth and Derrick's family continue to navigate their grief, the tragic incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of life and the importance of cherishing every moment.
