A heartbreaking video filmed outside Pandya Memorial Hospital in Mombasa has captured the Technical University of Mombasa (TUM) student president delivering an emotional tribute to the late Elvis Otieno, widely known among students as Beast. The footage, shared on TikTok on 21 July 2026, displays a crowd of mourners gathered sombrely as the current TUM student president addresses them, visibly struggling to process the loss. What made the address particularly haunting was the student leader's account of Beast's last day at the institution.
