Police in Narok are investigating an incident in which the body of a middle aged man was found dumped by the road side at Kamoja area along the Narok-Bomet highway.

Narok Central Sub County Police Commander John Momanyi said the deceased was a trailer turn-boy who had been left behind to guard the vehicle, only to be found lying dead beside the vehicle in the morning.

“The driver is said to have packed the vehicle beside the road and left his turn boy to take charge of the vehicle at around 9pm last night. However, when he came back in the morning, he met his body lying beside the vehicle,” he said.

Momanyi said the body had head and chest injuries, an indication that the man had been hit by a hard object on the head and chest.

“We received calls from good Samaritans that there was a body lying beside the road. We will leave no stone unturned until we get to the bottom of the matter,” said Momanyi.

The body was taken to the Narok County Referral Hospital mortuary for preservation awaiting post-mortem while the truck driver is in police custody to assist in the investigations.

The police boss called on residents with any information that can lead to unearth the last night occurrences that led to the death of the young man to report to his office.
