Detectives are investigating the murder of a man whose decomposed body was found lying in the cabin of a lorry days after his murder in Rongo Town, Migori County.
The body had also been doused with an acid before being abandoned at the scene on August 8.
It wasn’t until August 10 at about 3 pm at the Rongo Taxi Yard that guards working there said they were disturbed by a foul smell from the lorry.
They were also attracted there by flies that had been pulled to the Mercedes Benz lorry by the rotting body.
Police were called to the scene and broke into the lorry where they discovered the body lying in the cabin behind the driver’s seat.
The body had burn scars on the face, stomach and left leg suspected to be out of acid dousing.
Police said the lorry belonged to the Mombasa Maize Millers, Kisumu Branch.

The body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy and other investigations.

The motive of the murder is yet to be established, police said.
