Decomposing body of ex-Treasury official Tom Osinde who went missing days ago found in river Kuja in Migori, police confirm.

Osinde went missing on June 18 while traveling from his Nakuru home to Borabu, Kisii.

Police confirmed the body which was found in River Kuja on June 22 and had been lying in the mortuary without officials knowing it was him. Two workers of Osinde being held by the police are said to have helped in the identification of the body.

He was finally identified by the family and the two suspects who were the workers who had been arrested on June 27.

His brother Enock Nemwel Osinde too confirmed the sad end of a long search for the elder Osinde.

He posted on social media; “Thank you friends for your outpouring of love, prayers and support during my brother's search. Unfortunately, the outcome isn't the one we anticipated. Tom was killed and his body was found in Migori County. Please continue praying for us as try to come to terms.”

Rongai head of DCI Donnata Atieno said the suspects in custody are workers to Osinde at his Ngata home in Nakuru.

Kenyans have come out to criticize such acts , asking the president to act fast since he claimed his regime does not tolerate state officers who aid extrajudicial killings.

Daktari, @WilliamsRuto You told us that you "fired that Kinoti man", because your regime does not tolerate state officers who aid and abet extrajudicial killings. How many more cases like that of Tom Osinde will it take before you fire that Amin man? Kongoi.

@ItsMutai

Tom Osinde left Treasury in 2010. 12yrs ago. He has been a businessman all along. The sensational reporting by KOT is that he recently left the treasury and this might be a case related to his dealings in Government. That's far from the truth. But again, police must investigate.

Do people who murder others care about what the family would go through? The death of Tom Osinde is a really sad one. This administration promised us that no more extrajudicial killings will happen yet Uhuru and Kinoti are still murdering fellow countrymen in cold blood.

@BravinYuri

The murder of Tom Osinde is the first high-profile murder under the Kenya Kwanza administration. Who killed him? Why? Who stands to benefit more from his death? Very important questions we have to ask and the police need to find those involved.
