Siaya High Court judge Justice Daniel Ogembo Ogola was on Wednesday found dead in his residential house in Siaya town.
Confirming the incident, Siaya County Police Commander Cleti Kimaiyo said Justice Ogembo’s body was found by his driver who had gone to pick him for work in the morning.
The late Justice Ogembo is said to have worked until close of business yesterday before he was dropped to the house by his driver, who went to pick him up but found his door locked.
Further, Kimaiyo revealed that the driver is said to have called to inform Justice Ogembo that he would like to pick him, but the phone went unanswered.
This prompted him to check on him, only to find the door locked from inside.
