Kipkemboi, a grade five student at Sathya Sai School in Kisaju, Isinya Sub-County, vanished from his house at 2 p.m. on March 26.

His family's hunt for him was fruitless, his death was discovered days later, on March 30, in an unoccupied house a few kilometers from his home.

The minor's body was discovered in a pool of blood, according to Kipkemboi's uncle, George Kipsang. There was a lot of blood on the walls of the room where his body was found, indicating that there was a struggle before he died.

From a postmortem report at the Athi-river Shalom Hospital, the boy was stabbed 17 times with a sharp object on the head, neck, and hands.

His family has already demanded a prompt investigation into the occurrence, describing it as "devastating" and a "huge blow" to them, given that Kipkemboi's father passed away in January of this year.

Detectives are questioning the suspect, who used to play football with the deceased, at Isinya Police Station to figure out what motivated the heinous murder. They have discovered that the kid was responsible for the killing, either alone or with the help of unknown individuals.

Meanwhile, in Siaya County, Isaac Machiegwa, a forest ranger from Ramogi Hill, was discovered dead on Wednesday morning by pedestrians a few meters from the woodland.

"We are informed that he left the station at around 4 pm on Tuesday only to be found dead this morning," said area assistant chief Mr. Joseph Owigo.
