The DCI and Police in Bondo sub county are pieces together the final moments of a Ugandan national whose body was discovered dumped in a thicket along the Wagusu–Abimbo Road in Bondo Sub-County.

Officers visited the crime scene at Wagusu Village, located within the West Migwena Sub-location of Nyang’oma Location.

The deceased, identified simply as Moses, was a middle-aged man working locally as a herder at the homestead of Benard Ochieng.

According to preliminary police reports, Moses was last seen alive on Saturday by his employer before he uncharacteristically vanished. When search teams located his body, it bore horrific, multiple deep cut wounds to the head, clear indications of a violent assault executed with a machete or another sharp weapon.

Crime scene personnel processed the area before transferring the body to the Bondo Sub-County Mortuary, where it currently awaits a post-mortem examination to establish the precise cause of death.

Skeleton remains

Hundreds of kilometers way, in Machakos County, Police are digging in to establish skeletal remains of a 50-year-old man found scattered in a bush within the Kamulu area.

The matter was reported on Monday morning after a local herder, moving livestock along a footpath cutting through a vacant plot in the Kambi area, spotted what appeared to be a human skull resting in the grass.

Upon arriving at the scene, law enforcement officers confirmed the skull was human and initiated a wider search of the immediate grid.

Approximately 30 meters away from the initial sighting, detectives uncovered the remainder of the skeletal structure hidden deep inside dense, nearby bushes.

The remains have since been positively identified by his brother as belonging to Charles Mbatha Muasya, who had been missing for an undisclosed period.
