Somber mood has engulfed residents of Nzoia location in Kakamega county after a woman's body was found floating on water at a quarry.
Likuyani OCPD Meshack Kiptum says the body was discovered by boys from Eshukulu village, who usually bathe in the area.
Kiptum says the boys alerted the police who rushed to the scene and retrieved the decomposing body.
The OCPD has called on the public to come up and identify the body of the woman.
“I call upon anybody who might have lost a female relative aged about 30 years to come and help identify this body,” said Kiptum.
The residents appealed to the government to cover the quarry abandoned after a Chinese road Construction Company completed their
roads projects in the neighboring Uasin Gishu County.
