Residents of Riosune village in Borabu village were on Monday shocked after a body of a boy aged 15 years was found dumped in a maize plantation.
Timothy Mwasia, Borabu OCPD confirmed the incident and said residents who recovered the body alerted the police officers who arrived at the scene and found the body.
“Residents reported the incident to police who responded immediately. The boy's body was collected and taken to Nyamira county hospital mortuary,” he said.
He called on members of the public to help police to inform the family of the deceased.
“Residents could not identify the boy who might have been killed elsewhere before the body was dumped in the area. Locals should cooperate with police and ensure the family of the deceased is informed about the incident,” he said.
The OCPD said investigations have been launched over the murder and pleaded with members of the public to volunteer information to police which will help in arresting the killers.
