Two more bodies have been retrieved from River Yala in Gem, Siaya County.
The two bodies were among three that were spotted floating on the river on Friday evening while the third was washed away by the raging waters overnight, according to Yala OCPD Charles Chacha.
Chacha told the media that one of the bodies was blindfolded with a piece of cloth and its mouth gagged. The second one had a polythene bag wrapped over the head covering the face.
The three bodies were stuck between rocks in the river near Ndanu falls at Kina area in Gem sub-county and were discovered by a herder who had gone to water a flock of livestock.
“We have rains at the moment, nearly on a daily basis and it is evident the bodies have been rolling down stream as a result of the heavy down pour being experienced now,” said Chacha.
The discovery brings to 30 the total number of bodies found in the river over the past six months.
At least 12 families have so far positively identified their kin from the Yala sub-county morgue and buried them.
Last week, the family of missing Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) chief inspector Francis Isaac Oyaro identified his body from those retrieved from the river.
Oyaro, who will be laid to rest next weekend in Rarieda, Siaya County, disappeared on August 28th last year when he was traveling from Marsabit to Nairobi aboard a KWS vehicle.
On Thursday, DNA results confirmed Oyaro’s body after matching samples collected from his mother earlier this month.

Some people who must win this elections must appease their gods as they always do by offering human sacrifice.They know it’s their last chance so they r very desperate after sacrificing their son few years ago but Hata saa hii they won’t win trust me.
The truth is these MURDERS…
