Residents of Riong'uti village in Sirate North Kitutu Manga Nyamira County were left in a rude shock after unknown people raped a cow to death on Wednesday.
According to the owner of the cow only identified as Osebe who is also a widow, she tied her cow on Tuesday night at the usual sleeping place not knowing it was the last time she could see her cow.
"I had tied the cow at a usual sleeping place and retired to bed on Tuesday night. The following morning I didn't find my cow. I alerted neighbors who launched a search and found the cow tied in a tree plantation few meters away from my home raped and dead," she said.
She called on police officers in the region to speed up investigations to arrest the rapists.
"It is only police officers who will help me get justice because I am a widow struggling to feed and educate my kids. The suspects who did the heinous act to my cow must be arrested and be prosecuted," she said.
James Musyimi area police boss confirmed the incident and assured that police have launched a manhunt to arrest the suspects who have gone into hiding.
