Bondo: In Siger sub-location, Rarieda sub-county, a family is grappling with profound shock following the tragic demise of one of their own. Benard Ogolla Midika, aged 66, was discovered lifeless within the compound where he served as a housekeeper.

Reports indicate that Midika met his untimely end while undertaking a task in the compound. He had ascended a tree with the intention of pruning its branches. However, tragedy struck as he lost his footing and plummeted to the ground.

Assistant Chief Moses Ombewa, overseeing the area, recounted the unfortunate incident. Midika’s fatal fall occurred within his place of work, resulting in immediate demise upon impact.

“He had climbed the tree within the compound to trim its branches. Unfortunately, he slipped and fell, sustaining fatal head injuries,” explained the administrator, who formally documented the incident at Aram Police Station.

Shockingly, Midika’s lifeless body remained undiscovered for two days until a herder, attending to his livestock, stumbled upon the tragic scene.
