2026 - Detectives in Endebess have arrested Mike Wabwire Semera, the prime
suspect behind the brutal killing of 17-year-old Rael Cheptoek Kaboi, a Form
Four student at Nai Girls Secondary School, which occurred on January 30th,
2026, in Mowlem area of Kiptogot location.
The alarm was raised early that morning after residents
reported a lifeless body in a nearby farm.
Officers from Endebess Police Station rushed to the scene,
about 700 metres from Rael’s mother’s home, where they found the teenager’s
body bearing clear signs of assault.
The scene was carefully documented before the body was taken
to Kijana Wamalwa Referral Hospital for preservation and impending autopsy as
investigations kicked off.
Preliminary investigations established that Rael had left
home at 5:45 a.m for school, barely a kilometre away.
She never made it.
Her body was discovered around 6:30 a.m by fellow pupils
heading to class.
Following intelligence leads, detectives trailed the suspect
to the Kenya-Uganda Suam border, where a joint operation with Ugandan
authorities led to his arrest after he fled across the border after committing
the heinous act.
Semera has since been escorted back and is in custody at Endebess Police Station, undergoing processing ahead of arraignment, as detectives dig deeper to establish the motive behind the horrifying crime.
