Family in search of seven relatives who went to Shakahola

"My two aunts divorced their husbands and travelled to Malindi with their four children and joined the church. Our efforts to get them are fruitless," stated Anne Mwakazi a teacher, and a relative of the missing people.

Speaking to The Standard in a telephone interview on Tuesday from Macha village, the teacher said they have sent an elder to Malindi to search for missing kin.

"The mobile phones for the missing kin are not in service anymore and we do not know if they are dead or still alive," she narrated.

Meanwhile, police said no family has reported to the police station over missing relatives.

Voi Deputy County Commissioner Daniel Nduti and area sub-County Police Commander Benstine Shari said they have not received any report.
