A body of a 14-year-old girl was found in her grandmother’s house at Kihilila Village in Vihiga Sub County. The body of the girl had deep cuts and was found on the floor of the house by the neighbors. The girl, who used to go to school at Kidinye Secondary School, lived with her grandmother.
Mrs. Joyce Monyani, a neighbor, said the grandmother left the girl alone in the house to attend a relative’s funeral.
“Her grandmother left her alone in the house and we suspect the incident happened after the heavy downpour experienced in the evening,” She said.
The girl has been living with her grandmother since last year and she joined school this year.
“This girl, whose parents reside at Kabaras in Kakamega County started living with her grandmother late last year after finishing her KCPE exams,” said Imary.
The area Police Boss Alfred Angengo said the girl’s throat was slit with a sharp object and investigations are ongoing.
“At the scene, we found a used condom and the girl’s body had deep cuts and we suspect the suspect used a sharp object and we are still investigating the incident to apprehend the culprit,” said Angengo.
The area MCA Abdalla Chogo urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation and arrest the culprits.
