Search of missing female engineer in Kakamega came to a tragic end as her decomposing body was discovered, with body parts reportedly dumped in separate locations. The engineer, who had been reported missing several days ago, was found in a state that shocked residents and law enforcement officers alike.
The discovery was made on Sunday afternoon after locals stumbled upon suspicious remains in a secluded area. Authorities later confirmed the identity of the deceased through personal items found nearby. Investigations revealed that her body had been dismembered, with parts strewn across different sites, heightening the horror surrounding her death.
Police have described the incident as a brutal and calculated act. “This is a heinous crime, and we are committed to bringing those responsible to justice. Preliminary investigations suggest foul play, and we are treating this as a murder case,” said a senior officer leading the investigations.
Family and friends of the deceased have been left devastated, struggling to come to terms with the loss. According to sources close to the family, the engineer was last seen leaving her workplace, but she failed to return home, prompting her family to file a missing person’s report.
Residents of Kakamega have expressed fear and outrage over the incident, calling on law enforcement agencies to step up security measures. “We are living in fear. If such a professional can be targeted, then none of us is safe. We need immediate action from the authorities,” said a visibly shaken local resident.
The gruesome nature of the crime has sparked a wave of concern about rising insecurity and violence against women in the region. Advocacy groups have called for swift justice and urged the government to implement measures to protect women and address gender-based violence.
As investigations continue, police have urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward. The remains have been taken to the Kakamega County Referral Hospital mortuary for further examination.
This tragic event underscores the urgent need for heightened vigilance and a collective effort to ensure justice and safety for all.
