The discovery was made by a fisherman, Caleb Awuor, who said he noticed something unusual drifting on the water.
“I was fishing when I saw something that looked strange. I moved closer and was horrified to discover it was a human body,” Awuor said, adding that the deceased was a light-skinned, heavily built man.

“We discovered that he had no identification documents,” Onyango said.
She urged residents with missing relatives to report to the nearest police station.
