Police have started an investigation after finding the mutilated body of 19-year-old Sharon Atieno in a banana plantation in Kiambaa.
Sharon is said to have left her residence in Thindigwa, Karuri, at 10 p.m. on Thursday to make a phone call. She was also taking a walk.
Her friend, Shallet Vudembu, tried to reach her later but received no response.
"Thursday night, she left and never came back. I decide to call her boss and asked if she had gone to her workplace, but he told me that she hadn’t gone to work and that her colleagues hadn’t seen her," she said.
Her body was found on Friday in the plantation.
Fredick Njiraini Kimani, the owner of the farm where Sharon’s body was discovered, and another witness recollected how they found the body.
"I came to check and looked at the girl. I found that she was not breathing and confirmed that she had already been killed."
An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday, November 13, 2024, to determine the cause of death, marking the beginning of the family's quest for justice.
