The body of the ex-treasury staff was recovered in river Kuja, Migori County, ending almost two weeks of search.
Police officers involved in the search disclosed that the body was already decomposing when it was found.
According to the police report, the body was found in River Kuja on June 22 and lying in the mortuary without officials knowing it was Osinde.
He was finally identified by the family and the two suspects who had been arrested on June 27.
They also recovered some of his personal items from a farm where his vandalised car was found abandoned on June 22.
DCI Mohamed Amin confirmed the discovery and identification of Osinde’s body.
His brother Enock Nemwel Osinde too confirmed the sad end of a long search for the elder Osinde.
Thank you, friends, for your outpouring of love, prayers and support during my brother’s search. Unfortunately, the outcome isn’t the one we anticipated. Tom was killed and his body was found in Migori County. Please continue praying for us as we try to come to terms,” Enock said in a social media post.
The latest development comes a day after police arrested two suspects concerning Osinde’s disappearance.
