The body of a 26-year-old man who slipped and fell into Gicheru Water Falls in Kirinyaga County has finally been retrieved.

According to Gichugu Sub-County Police Commander Edward Ndirangu, the body of Fidel Omondi Otieno was retrieved Thursday evening at around 6:30 pm by local divers in collaboration with police officers and the residents.

The police commander said Omondi who works at a hotel in Nairobi’s Lavington area was among six people who had travelled from the city to see the waterfalls at Kiringa River.

While on a sightseeing of the falls Gicheru is reported to have slipped and fallen into the waters while taking a photo.

The victim was swept away by the raging waters, with his fate remaining unknown since the Wednesday incident.

“They were eight people. Six were from Nairobi and two from Kutus in Kirinyaga,” said the police commander.

Residents and friends gathered at the river bank until last night when the body was retrieved and taken to Kerugoya mortuary.

The body was found 50 meters from where he was said to have drowned.
