Woman found buried in shallow grave in Kajiado,husband arrested

Isinya police in Kajiado County have apprehended Shon David Rabassa Kioko, a man accused of murdering his wife Farida Peter Sangka and hiding her body in a shallow grave on their farm. The suspect was taken into custody after a farmworker, Ndayishimiye Deo, reported that his employer had killed his wife before asking him to assist in disposing of her body.

Deo alerted authorities, leading detectives to launch an inquiry into the alleged murder. The scene was secured, and Kioko and Deo were apprehended as detectives began their investigation. The body was recovered from the shallow grave on the farm and later exhumed for forensic examination by a pathologist and Ministry of Health officials.

The remains are currently stored at a Nairobi funeral home while awaiting a postmortem examination. Kioko and Deo are still in police custody as detectives probe the incident to uncover the events leading to Sangka’s death. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has expressed sympathy to Sangka’s family and promised to seek justice as the investigation proceeds.
