Woman, 67, allegedly drowns self for misplacing Ksh.50K church money

A woman aged 67 years is said to have drowned herself  for allegedly misplacing Ksh. 50,000 belonging to the church.

Fishermen retrieved the body of Mary Aoko Odhiambo from Lake Victoria on Wednesday.

Confirming the incident, Ramogi Sub-Location Chief Gordon Opundo said the deceased had been reportedly restless the previous evening.

She left her husband in the house at midnight without saying where she was going.

It is at Wath-K’opondo beach– where her phone and clothes were found –that residents believe she jumped into the lake.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, the chief also revealed that members of the public had mounted a search for her when they found it stuck in a fishing net a few meters from the lake shore.

The body has since been moved to Bondo Sub-County hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem as investigations begin.
