Residents of Miruka in Nyamira County were left in rude shock after a body of a middle aged man was found killed and dumped at a road near darajani area on Thursday morning.
Locals said the man was chopped off his head.
“The killers chopped off the man’s head. He might have been killed elsewhere before his body was dumped here because there wasn’t blood at the crime scene,” said Mary Onduko, a resident.
Mrs Onduko said police officers in the area have failed to beef up security.
“Security officers in the area are all sleeping on the job. By 6 pm in the evening the officers lock themselves in the houses instead of intensifying security patrols to ensure people’s lives and property is protected,” she noted.
Nyamira County police commandeer Titus Karuri confirmed the incident and said police have launched a search to arrest the killers.
"The killers are not far and we will catch up with. No one is above the law and no one is allowed to kill another person,” said the commander.
