A family in Kirinyaga is still devastated after downing on them that their kin who had gone missing was murdered.

The now-deceased, Patrick Macamba, 45, went missing last week with his family initiating the efforts to locate him.

His body was dumped in the Murinduko area before being ferried to a morgue in Kerugoya.

According to the family, the man must have succumbed to injuries of a physical attack going by the visible wounds on his head and neck.

“We were told by the mortuary attendant he had an injury on his neck when his body was brought here by police officers. We suspect he was killed by unknown people,” said Simon Kathuri, the deceased's brother.

Abisolom Ahuma, 54 and father of two daughters, left his home without his family’s knowledge and never communicated to them on his whereabouts until his demise

According to his mother, Diana Mmbone Ifedha, Ahuma bought a land near Sirwa Posta on Vihiga-Nandi border before he left.

“He bought a parcel of land, put up a house and settled his family in it before he left without a word,” Ifedha told TUKO.co.ke amid sobs.

Ahuma’s disappearance left his mother agape, wondering whether if he was dead or alive.

“His wife died in 2007 but my son never showed up. I took care of his two daughters in his absence with no letter or phone call from him. His father Hethron Ifedha died in 2010 and we hoped to see him but to our surprise, he never showed up. The same happened when his in-law died,” IIfedha added.
