  "summary": "A decomposed human leg was discovered under the Iyabe River Bridge in Kisii South Sub-County, Kenya, on Sunday, August 30. The severed leg, believed to be adult, was found in a yellow biohazard bag and is currently undergoing investigation by police. The identity of the deceased and the circumstances surrounding their death remain unknown as the investigation is ongoing. In a separate incident, a 39-year-old man, Hezron Bangi, was found dead inside his bedroom in Masaba South Sub-County on the same day. The death of Bangi is believed to be the result of an assault, allegedly after he was accused of attempting to steal a nylon sheet used to cover bricks. The suspects in this case are still at large, and police are actively searching for them.",
