On January 1, 2020, a heinous crime shook the quiet town of Moi's Bridge when an 11-year-old girl was defiled and killed.
According to police, the girl had been sent by her mother to buy food items at a nearby shop on Tuesday evening but failed to return.
Her body was discovered the next morning, wrapped in a bed sheet with blood stains on her clothes, near a railway line in the area, not far from her home.
Police suspect she may have been killed elsewhere and her body dumped there.
"The girl had been sent by her mother to buy some items for cooking supper in Moi's bridge on Tuesday at 6pm but unfortunately she did not come back only to be found dead the following morning," said Soy sub-county police boss Fanuel Nasio.
Further investigations will determine what happened and those involved in the heinous act, Nasio added.
The body was taken to Kitale Referral Hospital awaiting postmortem.
