Wells Fargo HR manager who went missing last week found dead in Siaya

Wells Fargo Company’s Human Resource Manager Willis Ayieko, who went missing five days ago, has been found dead.

Mr. Ayieko’s body, which was handcuffed, was found on Wednesday near a stream in Nyamninia sub-location within Gem Yala, Siaya County.

He had reportedly gone missing on Friday, October 18, 2024 after attending a burial in North Gem location.

It wasn’t until Tuesday, October 22, that his vehicle was found abandoned near a petrol station in Sabatia, Vihiga County.

Gem Yala Sub-County Police Commander Charles Wafula confirmed that the body was found near a stream, noting that Mr. Ayieko is suspected to have been abducted and consequently murdered.

The body has since been removed to the Aga Khan Hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy as investigations continue to establish his killers.

CCTV cameras captured two men abandoning the vehicle, a Ford Ranger double cabin pick-up, near the petrol station in Sabatia.
