Missing IEBC official found dead
Missing IEBC official for the Embakasi East constituency has been found dead in Loitoktok, Kajiado South sub-county.
Daniel Mbolu Musyoka, the missing returning officer for Embakasi East for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), has been discovered dead in Kajiado.
Police officials from Loitoktok, Kajiado South sub-county, received a report of a middle-aged man’s body in the bush on Monday evening.
The body was recognized by his sisters Mary Mwikali and Ann Mboya at the Loitokitok sub-county mortuary, according to Loitoktok police chief Kipruto Ruto.
“His two sisters identified the body lying at Loitoktok sub-county hospital last night. We are waiting for communication from police headquarters either to ferry the body to the city mortuary or to remain here,” Mr. Ruto said.
The missing IEBC official, Mr. Musyoka, 53, was serving as returning officer at Embakasi East constituency in Nairobi county.
Mr. Ruto claims that herders at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro’s Kilombero forest found the body of a middle-aged man early on Monday.
The gruesome find was made by herders. The body was reportedly dumped into the valley of a dry seasonal river.
The location is infamous for being where murder victims are dumped.
Despite the fact that the man’s clothes, a tracksuit, and a Maasai shuka, were discovered at the valley’s edge, the police chief said the body was naked.
The victim’s body bore obvious evidence of struggle and torture, he said.
No identification documents were recovered near the man’s body.
“It is evident that the victim was killed elsewhere and the body dumped in the valley. The body has scars indicating torture before the death. He possibly died a painful death,” Mr Ruto said.
The body was moved to Loitokitok Sub-County Hospital mortuary awaiting identification after police officers collected fingerprints.
“We are reaching out to families that have lost their loved ones to come for identification as we wait for fingerprints processing,” said the police boss who added that they could not speculate on the identity of the dead man.
