Missing Wells Fargo HR manager found dead
Wells Fargo Company’s Human Resource Manager Willis Ayieko, who went missing five days ago, has been found dead
Wells Fargo Company’s Human Resource Manager Willis Ayieko, who went missing five days ago, has been found dead.
The body of a senior manager with a security company was found abandoned in a mortuary days after he went missing.
His colleagues and family said Ayieko went missing after attending a burial in Gem, Siaya County.
Mr. Ayieko’s body, which was handcuffed, was found on Wednesday near a stream in Nyamninia sub-location within Gem Yala, Siaya County.
He had reportedly gone missing on Friday, October 18, 2024 after attending a burial in North Gem location.
It wasn’t until Tuesday, October 22, that his vehicle was found abandoned near a petrol station in Sabatia, Vihiga County.
Gem Yala Sub-County Police Commander Charles Wafula confirmed that the body was found near a stream, noting that Mr. Ayieko is suspected to have been abducted and consequently murdered.
The body has since been removed to the Aga Khan Hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy as investigations continue to establish his killers.
CCTV cameras captured two men abandoning the vehicle, a Ford Ranger double cabin pick-up, near the petrol station in Sabatia.
Investigators are hoping to identify the men to provide critical information on how they obtained the vehicle.
It is not clear why Ayieko was targeted. The motive is yet to be established.

Police said they are investigating a murder in the case.
A team of detectives visited various places the car passed as part of the probe into the murder.
He departed the city at around 1 pm but never returned home, sparking concerns about his whereabouts.
His friends said Ayieko was expected to attend another event in Kakamega on Saturday, October 19, but he never arrived.
Some of his friends and family members speculated that Ayieko’s disappearance may be linked to his role as a Human Resource Manager.
With many companies laying off employees in recent times, they fear his abduction could be connected to someone he had to let go.
Ayieko’s orange pick-up was found abandoned near a petrol station in Sabatia, but he was missing.
It was until Monday, October 21 when the body was found.
