Friday, March 14,
2025 - Police in Muhoroni Sub-county, Kisumu County, are investigating the
brutal murder of a 17-year-old Form Four student whose decomposing body was
found in a sugarcane plantation in Migingo area.
The half-naked body had visible strangulation marks on the
neck, with police suspecting she was abused before being killed.
The deceased, a student at Nyando Mixed Secondary Day
School, was reported missing on Monday after failing to return home from
school.
On Thursday evening, villagers raised an alarm after
spotting dogs emerging from the sugarcane plantation carrying human body parts.
Police arrived at the scene and discovered the girl's body,
with her hands and legs partially eaten by animals.
Authorities have arrested a 30-year-old suspect, Lawrence
Owuor, in connection with the murder.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations
(DCI) transferred the body to St. Vincent Mission Hospital for a postmortem as
investigations continue.
This shocking incident comes amid growing concerns over
rising crime in Kisumu.
Just last week, a missing woman’s half-naked body was
discovered dumped in a borehole near Rota Beach, sparking fresh calls for
improved security in the region.
