Amidst the tranquil setting of Homa Bay County, a distressing narrative has unfolded, shaking the community to its core and unknowingly how to find justice.
The devastating loss of 30-year-old Collins Okiro in Sino village, Rachuonyo South Sub County, has plunged the locality into shock and disbelief, as suspicions arise regarding the involvement of a Kenya Defence Force (KDF) officer and his cohorts in Okiro’s untimely demise.
The release of harrowing footage depicting the events leading to Okiro’s death has not only stunned but mobilized law enforcement agencies into action of finding justice to the community.
Rachuonyo South Sub-County Police Commander, Lilies Wachira, disclosed the grim details of the tragedy, revealing a calculated scheme that unfolded on April 7th.
Under false pretenses, the KDF officer, accompanied by his brother and another individual, deceitfully lured Okiro from his home, leaving his unsuspecting wife behind.
Tragically, Okiro was led to a secluded location where he met a fatal fate, robbed of his life in a senseless act of violence.
The courageous actions of Okiro’s widow, upon realizing her husband’s absence, triggered a swift response from authorities, initiating a relentless manhunt for the alleged perpetrators.
As the detained KDF officer awaits justice behind bars at Oyugis police station, efforts to locate the remaining suspects intensify.
The once secure fabric of the community has been torn asunder, replaced by a fervent demand for accountability and the assurance of a safer environment for all residents.
In the aftermath of Okiro’s tragic passing, there exists an unwavering resolve to prevent similar atrocities from recurring.
With law enforcement agencies redoubling their efforts to ensure swift and decisive justice, the community stands united in its pursuit of accountability and the preservation of life’s sanctity.
“We have apprehended the KDF officer and are actively pursuing the other two suspects believed to be involved in the murder,” they stated.
Okiro’s remains were transferred to the Rachuonyo South Subcounty hospital mortuary, awaiting further examination through a postmortem procedure.
