Police in Migori Couty are investigating an incident where two children aged 12 and 9 from the same family went missing on Monday in Kegonga, Kuria East.

According to their family, they went looking after their cattle but never returned home.

"They have been missing since Monday after taking the cows to a water point.”

Preliminary investigations show that the two left the cows and crossed over to the other side of the river.

"I was waiting for them to get back home for lunch but I have not seen my children since," their distraught mother said.

This comes two days after a 14-year-old boy went missing in Mabera, Kuria West. He was found days later after attending a circumcision ceremony.
