Two bodies of Kitengela missing men recovered
Two bodies of the four men who vanished in Kitengela, Kajiado last week have been found in Murang’a and Thika mortuary.
The family members of the four men who visited Murang’a Level 5 hospital mortuary yesterday confirmed the identity of the body of Elijah Oboung aged 35.
Oboung’s body was found last week on Thursday dumped at a bridge on River Mukungai which borders Kiharu and Kangema division.
By then, police could not identify the body, which was naked with injuries on hands and legs.
Residents of the area where the body was found dumped lamented that on several occasions bodies from other areas have been dumped there saying the incidences have left many living in fear.
Imbai’s body was collected by Kamwangi police officers in Kieni forest in Gatundu North, where it had been dumped on April 20, and taken to General Kago Funeral Home in Thika.
The family and friends identified it on Wednesday.
It was discovered by a plumber who was working on a pipeline in Kieni forest near Gakoe shopping centre.
According to the police, Imbai had no shoes and shirt and his wrists had scars, indicating that he might have been handcuffed by his killers.
“He only had trousers on. His neck had scars indicating that his killers had strangled him using a rope or bare hands. His body had started decomposing,” said a police source privy to the matter.
Meanwhile, another body resembling one of the missing persons was recovered at Mathioya River, Kiharu Subcounty stashed in a gunny bag.
Mukangai river joins the bigger Mathioya river on the spot where the second body was found.
The body was 500metres from where Obuong’s body was found but downstream stashed into a gunny bag in tightly tied with a rope in a curve shape to fit in the bag.
Benjamin Amache Imbai, 30, Brian Oduor 36, Elijah Obuong, 35 and Jack Ochieng’, 37, are believed to have been abducted outside Club Enkare in Kitengela where they had ordered drinks and lunch before they were seen leaving the joint at about 3pm.
A vehicle they were using was found abandoned in a parking lot several metres from the restaurant where they took lunch.
