The family of the late Wells Fargo Company’s Human Resource Manager Willis Ayieko has hailed the government for its efforts in bringing his killers to justice.
Speaking during a candlelight vigil held in Ayieko's memory on Friday evening, his elder brother Aggrey Onyango expressed gratitude for the actions taken by government agencies so far.
However, Mr. Onyango, the former Chairman of the now defunct Siaya County Council, emphasized the family's demand to know the person behind his younger brother's brutal murder.
"I had said and will still say - who is this man who wanted Willis dead?" he posed.
Siaya County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Agriculture Sylvester K’Okoth described the late Ayieko as a gentleman who avoided conflicts.
"Willis was a fine gentleman who would never engage in altercations. He would calmly use diplomatic language, so we don’t escalate or create tensions within the forum," said K’Okoth.
Dr. Edgar Otumba, Siaya’s Education CECM and a former Kenyatta University classmate of Ayieko, condemned the cruelty inflicted upon his friend.
"Why do you have to maim somebody that way, for whatever reason?" he questioned.
Ayieko was reported missing on October 18, 2024, after attending a funeral vigil in Gem. His body was discovered on October 23, 2024, in a stream on the Siaya-Kakamega boundary.
Two suspects have since been arrested, and two others killed in a shootout with detectives investigating the case.
