The body of a nine-year-old girl who had been missing for five days in Kakamega was discovered inside a water tank on Saturday. Police retrieved Sharlene Mwanzia's body from a tank behind her parent's house at Scheme Estate in Kakamega. In retaliation, angry neighbours set a blaze the house of the father of the man suspected to be behind Sharlene's kidnap and death.

Uncle to the victim, Oscar Mulu, said he noticed a foul smell and called his neighbours to find out where it was coming from.
