On September 23, 2019, a middle-aged man died under mysterious circumstances in Migori County after allegedly consuming excess illicit brew at a chang'aa drinking den in Wuoth Ogik village, Suna East sub-county.
The body of the deceased, identified as Onamu Ochago, aged 40, was found lying in a tree plantation a few hours after he was spotted in the drinking den.
Migori Police Commander Joseph Nthenge said that the body had no visible injuries, and they are yet to establish the cause of the death.
According to eyewitnesses, the deceased was seen staggering out of the drinking den before he was later found dead.
Area chief Philip Kisiagro revealed that the deceased was among the notorious cattle rustlers being pursued by security officers in the area.
The deceased had been summoned by security officers over the theft of two cows in the area last week.
The body has been moved to Migori Level Four Hospital mortuary pending autopsy.
