The body of an unknown man was found floating on the River Kipkaren on Tuesday in Kijiji Village, Munyuki Sub-location, Lugari Sub-County, Kakamega County.
The body was discovered by Paul Wafula, who was fishing.
He tied the body to prevent it from being carried away by water and alerted neighbors.
“I saw something like a cloth and discovered that it was the body of a human being. The body had a bleeding injury on the right hand,” he said.
Confirming the incident, area village elders James Karori and Joshua Anzaya said the man is not a resident and the body may have been carried by water to where it was found.
The man is suspected to be one of a gang of robbers who broke into a shop at Kipkaren on Monday night.
It is believed he might have dived into the river and drowned while trying to escape after being ambushed.
