The body of a missing 24-year-old man found floating in Kangemi Dam in Nairobi.
Detectives are investigating an incident where the body of a 24-year-old man, who was missing, was found in a dam in Kangemi, Nairobi.
Simon Owino had been missing since July 26. He lived in the area when he went missing. His father reported he was missing.
The body was discovered on July 30 at the Kangemi dam by locals.
It was floating at the dam when divers jumped there and retrieved it. The father identified the body at the scene, police said.
The locals protested the death and the slow pace by police to attend the scene.
They removed the body from the water and brought it to the nearby Waiyaki Way blocking traffic flow as they demanded a police vehicle to take it to the mortuary.
