After sitting day one papers, Embu was reported missing by Kakindu Primary School, Gikuru Sub-location of Mwea Sub-county.<\/p>\n
According to Charles Ngari (area Chief), Kennedy Macharia Kanini, 17, vanished after he was sent by his mom to fetch water at Thiba River with an ox cart at 5pm.<\/p>\n
He claimed that the boy never returned home, prompting villagers to launch a search for him. They only found his shoes along with the cart by the river.<\/p>\n
The Chief stated that they can’t rule out drowning in the river, given the shoes that were left behind. He also suggested that crocodiles and hippos could have attacked him.<\/p>\n
He stated that search efforts have been launched for the missing boy.<\/p>\n
