Two more bodies retrieved from Masinga Dam

Two more bodies have been retrieved from Masinga Dam in Machakos County, after a boat capsized early Thursday morning.

The bodies of the deceased were found floating in the water by fishermen. Three other bodies had previously been retrieved from the dam after the boat carrying 15 passengers capsized while ferrying locals who were heading to Ekalakala market in Masinga.

Seven people were on Thursday rescued by local divers after the early morning tragedy.

Area Chief Musyoka Wambua has confirmed the retrieval, saying the search and rescue mission is now over.
