Drama as angry mourners dump coffin with body at Baricho police station

Joseph Nguru Munyaro was allegedly murdered and his body dumped in Kiwe River at Mukithi along the Ndia-Kirinyaga Central constituencies border.

Angry mourners who were going home from Kerugoya mortuary dumped the body at the station and caused a fracas for about two hours.

The mourners accused police of failing to arrest key suspects.

Nguru was a boda boda rider at Kiaga trading centre in Kirinyaga Central constituency, and his new motorcycle was found at the location where his body was dumped.

Mourners left the station after they addressed the media,  went to the suspect's homestead and set his property on fire.

They also made away with his chickens.

Ndia police boss Jos Mudavadi said police have launched investigations and urged residents to record statements.
