Another IEBC ‘official’ murdered under mysterious circumstances

The body of a 39-year old secondary school teacher who served as a Deputy Presiding Officer in Ugenya Constituency in Siaya County during the August 8 polls was on Saturday mid morning found dumped along a footpath in Sirowa village, North Ugenya.

The body of the deceased, who has been identified as Caroline Adhiambo, was found along the footpath on Saturday, August 19 at around 11.00 am.

North Ugenya Chief, Joseph Ooko, said that that Ms. Adhiambo’s body was found with deep cuts and it is suspected that she was tortured before being murdered.

“Ms. Adhiambo is said to have left home yesterday (Friday) and has been found dead this morning, she was a teacher at Ugenya High School and served as a Deputy Presiding Officer at Miyare primary school in Ugenya,” Mr. Ooko said.

According to Mr. Ooko, the deceased informed her husband that she was going to pick some items in Ugenya High School before she met her death.

The body has since been removed to Sega Mission Hospital Mortuary ahead of a post mortem as investigations begin to establish the exact cause and motive of the death.

This comes a day after slain IEBC ICT Director, Chris Msando, was buried at his Lifunga Kobiero rural home in Ugenya, Siaya County.
