Mr muteshi was shocked to discover the bones and immediately informed the neighbours and the police. "I was harvesting mud-soil for my new house which I am building, when I found the human skull with other body parts. I have never been so scared," he said.

The deceased's body was identified as that of Rosa Kamoya, a 37-year-old woman who had been missing for some time. Her father, mzee Paul Lisiolo confirmed that the deceased was indeed her daughter.

"My daughter disappeared last year, while in the company of her two sisters in Shibuname, a nearby village, we have been looking for her ever since," he said.
