They traced the body in Siaya County Referral Hospital mortuary and managed to positively identify that it belonged to Ng’etich who went missing on August 10, 2024.
Chumba, who spoke to journalists at the mortuary the body was being picked, revealed that Kipkorir, who hails from Kuresoi South did not drown but was killed elsewhere and his body dumped into the river.
He stated that the body was in bad shape and was already decomposing, a clear indication that he had been brutally murdered.
Family members led by the slain teacher’s uncle Samuel Rotich said they have lost a young and promising graduate.
He has therefore called on the security agencies to conduct thorough investigations to ensure justice is served.
