Friday, October 04, 2024 - A sombre mood descended upon a village in Nyamira county following the murder of a woman and her two daughters.

relative were found dumped in separate ditches in the Motagara and Gesima area
of Nyamira County on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
A local administrator confirmed that the women identified as
Jane, Edinah and Lonah, were killed elsewhere and their bodied later disposed
of.

brought back. She had gone to visit her sister when the tragic events
unfolded," a local investigator stated.
Footage shared captured the residents' anguish as they
grappled with the tragic loss.
A grieving villager expressed deep sorrow, lamenting the
lack of action regarding the rising number of violent deaths in the area.
He urged the government to intervene, citing local
authorities' inaction.
"Five people have died, not from illness but from
murder. We plead with the government for help. People are being killed
mercilessly, and although our local authorities are aware, they have never
responded adequately," he said.
The authorities have pledged to investigate the incidents thoroughly and hold the responsible parties accountable.
