Police on Friday exhumed the body of a woman who was last seen on January 1, 2024, from a 9-feet-deep gold mining pit in Nango in Bondo, Siaya County. The deceased, Maureen Achieng, whose body is now lying at the Bondo Sub County Hospital mortuary, is suspected to have been murdered by his boyfriend Edwin Ochieng. When the duo were last seen, they were on a drinking spree at a bar in Nango Center before heading into the house of the suspected killer. The Bondo Law Courts remanded the suspect for 14 days at the Bondo Police Station to give room for further investigations, mental assessment and postmortem. The Siaya County Police boss confirmed the incident, saying that the body of the 21-year-old woman had multiple cuts on the head, face, right thigh and abdomen.
