Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Former Bungoma East MP Mark Barasa was on Wednesday found murdered and his body dumped outside his home farm in Tongaren, Bungoma. The 98- year-old was the first Bungoma East MP who served between 1963 and 1969.<\/p>\n

Neither the date nor time of the death could be immediately established, police said. Police said the body of the deceased was partially burned with acid and had the eyes, tongue, and left hand missing due to decomposition.<\/p>\n

They also said the deceased had been reported missing on December 16, after he failed to show up at either of his two homes in Ndalu and Chesamisi. The police proceeded to the scene and established that the body had extensively decomposed. Bungoma head of DCI Joseph Ondoro said they are investigating a possible murder.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe body was about 20 meters from his house. We wonder how they failed to feel the smell,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A relative said the deceased was in good physical health when he went missing from his Ndalu home. The body was moved to Kiminini Cottage Hospital Mortuary for preservation pending an autopsy.<\/p>\n
