Form 3 girl found murdered inside KBC compound in Yala

A Form Three student was on Tuesday morning found dead at the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) compound in Nyamninia, Yala, Siaya County.

The body of the 17-year-old girl was discovered partially clothed by students on their way to school who raised alarm.

According to police reports, the girl left home for school at approximately 5:30am, only to be found dead and her body dumped in a bush roughly 300meters away, with her undergarments removed.

Authorities in the area suspect that the girl was raped before being killed.

Confirming the incident, Gem Yala Sub-County Police Commander Charles Wafula said officers from Yala Police Station arrived at the scene and took the body to the Yala Sub-County hospital mortuary.

The police boss added that investigations are presently underway into the incident, while a postmortem examination is being conducted.

This comes after another similar incident occurred in Mindhine village where an 18-year-old Form Four girl was found raped and murdered on her way to school.
