According to a police report filed at Koru Police Station under OB No. 02/28/10/2025, officers from Achego Patrol Base rushed to the scene, where they found the head placed inside a paper bag and dumped in the middle of the road.
The disturbing sight drew the attention of locals who had begun gathering at the scene as police cordoned off the area.
As officers processed the scene, another report came in indicating that a headless body had been found lying a few metres from the victim’s rented house within Keiyo Village in Songor Sub-location, Tamu Location.
Victim described as a quiet man
Police who arrived at the second scene confirmed that the remains belonged to Patrick Okello Amemo, a man from Mawego Village in Homa Bay County. Okello, who worked as a tractor driver, was described by neighbours as a quiet man who had lived in the area for several years.
“The body was found lying near his home with both the head and genitals severed. It appears the body was dumped shortly before dawn,” read part of the police report seen by K24 Digital.
Confirming the incident, Muhoroni Sub-county OCPD Fredrick Ombaka described the killing as disturbing and barbaric, saying officers were pursuing leads that could help identify the perpetrators.
“It is a shocking and brutal murder. We have recovered both the head and the body, and our detectives are already following crucial leads to establish what happened and who was involved,” he said.
The remains of the deceased were later moved to Odhoo Morgue for preservation and a post-mortem examination.
Residents of Keiyo Village have been left in shock following the incident and are appealing for increased police patrols in the area. Some said insecurity had been on the rise in recent weeks, with isolated cases of theft and violence reported at night.
