Wilson Oluoch, a commercial motorcyclist in Migori county, went missing from his home for days, prompting his family to believe he was dead when a decomposing body was found in a sugarcane plantation in Awendo.
The family took the body and kept it in a morgue in Migori and embarked on burial preparations.
They dug the grave, prepared meals according to the Luo culture and everything was ready when a message was
delivered, saying that someone who looked like their son had been seen in Rongo.
The family visited the area and to their shock, Oluoch was in a bar, drowning in bottles of beer.
