This incident is not the only case of a mysterious death reported recently. In Makueni county, a decomposing body of a 60-year-old man, Michael Mutisya Musila, was discovered in Ivumbu Forest, Mbooni West subcounty. The body was found by villagers on Sunday, October 4, about 700 meters from his home. The police visited the scene, processed it, and removed the body to Machakos Funeral Home mortuary for a postmortem examination.
The police are also investigating the death of a 42-year-old man found dead in his house in Kathitini Market, Mukothima subcounty, Tharaka Nithi county.

The scene was documented and processed before the body was removed to Marimanti Level 4 Hospital Mortuary for a postmortem examination to establish the cause of death.
