A family in Ogwedhi-Maasai, Suna East Sub-county, Migori County, is demanding justice after their relative was allegedly killed and his body dumped at Nyabade village along the Migori–Narok county border.The family says the deceased was attacked on Thursday night at around 9 p.m. while travelling back to Ogwedhi Trading Centre after leaving Narok County. They suspect he was killed before his body was abandoned in the area.

Speaking on behalf of the family, Jerry Otieno said the matter was reported to police officers in Trans Mara Sub-county, but they are yet to receive any information regarding the progress of investigations or the arrest of suspects.Otieno expressed frustration over the delay in getting answers, saying the family wants those responsible for the killing to face justice.

“We want those responsible brought to justice. Since reporting the matter, no one has been arrested, and we are still waiting for answers,” said Otieno.The incident has raised concerns among residents living along the Migori–Narok border, who say cases of insecurity and violent crime have been increasing in the area.Ogwedhi village elder Daniel Okumu said several criminal incidents reported in the region have often remained unresolved, leaving families of victims without justice.

“It is unfortunate that most killings in this area remain unresolved. We need thorough investigations to end the cycle of violence,” Okumu said.Residents are now calling on security agencies from both Migori and Narok counties to strengthen cooperation in addressing insecurity along the border.

John Odera, a resident, urged authorities to enhance security patrols and ensure investigations into reported killings are completed so that suspects can be arrested and prosecuted.

The family and residents are now appealing to security agencies to act swiftly, saying justice for the deceased will help restore confidence among communities living along the border.
