The body of Ken Tom Fred Okaya Osinde, a former National Treasury official who had been reported missing for more than a week, has been discovered in River Kuja in Migori County.

This was confirmed by Migori Police Commander Peter Kimani, who confirmed to journalists that Osinde’s family had positively identified his body after it was retrieved from the river.

The body of the former Treasury employee was later moved to Migori Referral Hospital to await a postmortem slated for Thursday to ascertain the exact cause of his tragic death.

This comes a day after Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) sleuths arrested two of his workers at his home in Ngata, Nakuru County as they tightened their investigations.

The detectives on Wednesday also interrogated other workers at Osinde’s Ngata home and also conducted a comprehensive search on his 10-acre family farm trying to track him down.
