He was taken to a hospital in the area, but after a week at the facility, “he disappeared”, Otieno told Al Jazeera.“We reported to the police and started looking for him everywhere, panicked that we might never see him again. Later, we had information from some neighbours that he is in Migori at a church. That’s when we went there to ask the church leaders where he was. They told us he was not at the church and had not seen him.
“About a month later, they called us to say that the person we were looking for had died the previous night and that they had buried him that day.”The family then informed the police and human rights activists like Kiarie, and travelled to Opapo to try and locate his body.
