A family in Kisumu has been left devastated after their 10-day search for a missing relative ended tragically at the Siaya County Referral Hospital morgue.
The body of their beloved one turned up in Siaya County, marking a painful conclusion to days of anxiety and uncertainty.
The family had earlier on reported their kin, a middle-aged man, missing under unclear circumstances. For days, they searched hospitals, police stations, and nearby areas, hoping to find him alive. However, their hopes were dashed when they were informed of an unidentified and unclaimed body lying in the Siaya morgue.
Upon arriving at the morgue, the family confirmed that, indeed, it was the body of 26-year-old Eric Ouma Ombewa who is said to be a graduate of Rongo University and a budding teacher at a school in Bondo. The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, leaving the family with more questions than answers. They have called on authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly to uncover the truth behind his demise.
This tragic incident has highlighted the challenges families face when a loved one goes missing. The emotional toll, coupled with the lack of clear systems for tracking missing persons, makes the process even more devastating.
The family is now focused on giving their relative a dignified send-off while seeking justice. They have urged the police to expedite investigations and provide answers about the events leading to his death.
The discovery has sent shockwaves through the community, with many expressing sympathy and support for the grieving family. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of improving systems for identifying and locating missing persons in Kenya.
As the family mourns their loss, they hope that their tragic experience will bring attention to the plight of families searching for missing loved ones and the need for better support from authorities.
