The body of a head teacher from Kisii County’s primary school, who vanished last week, was discovered in a water well close to his house at the Aloo estate in Oyugis town, Homa Bay County.
After going missing for five days, Raganga Primary School head teacher Richard Otieno Kobe was discovered dead on Sunday morning.
Gilbert Kobe, Richard’s younger brother, claimed that his son, who had gone to get water, had discovered Richard’s body in the well.
Gilbert claimed that on Tuesday night, Richard vanished. His family expected him to return home, but he never did. He left the house without taking his cell phone and didn’t tell anyone where he was going.
The family began looking for him the next day and reported him to the police before going to the Lida trading center in the neighboring Rachuonyo North Sub-County to look for him after some people said they had seen someone who resembled him.
However, it wasn’t until Sunday morning that they received a call from their home informing them that the body had been discovered in the water well. The body was taken from the scene by the police when they were notified.
Lilies Wachira, the commander of Rachuonyo South Sub-County Police, stated that investigations had already been started.
For the post-mortem, the body was taken to the mortuary of Rachuonyo South Sub-County Hospital.
