Kisumu - A family from the Lela area, Kisumu West constituency, is in agony following the disappearance of their kin.

Dorothy Achieng', a mother of four, reportedly left home to go to the local market, never to return.

Witnesses at the market told her immediate family that she was spotted carrying a woven basket before she left for home later in the evening on Friday, May 3.

However, she did not arrive home as expected, and her basket was found beside the road the next day.

According to a police report filed at the Lela Police Post under OB No.02/4/5/2024, the 25-year-old lady had gone to the local market to repair her clothes.

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Achieng's husband, Robert Ouko, revealed that she conducted all her duties at home but looked troubled.

"She was not that off but she looked lost in her thoughts fo the most part of the day," the family said.

How are Achieng's children

The family further expressed their struggles in taking care of the missing lady's children, pointing out that her six-month-old twins are yet to start weaning.

They appealed for help getting baby formula to help feed the twins and take care of her two other children.

According to them, it is something unusual for the mother of four to vanish without leaving a word.

They further called upon anybody with information about her whereabouts to reach out to the family through +254718231161.

In a similar report, it has been five years since 59-year-old Mary Nyangasi Sabwa walked out of her home in Turbo and disappeared into thin air.

Since then, her children have been through years of emotional turmoil, with dwindling hope and unanswered questions.

It is for this reason that they pleaded with members of the public to help them reunite with the missing woman.
