In Bungoma County, he led an investigation into several incidents where he claimed to have buried some of his victims. In a village in the Kimilili constituency, one of the victims, nine-year-old Emmanuel Wafula, was raped and killed before his body was dumped in a pit toilet in the area in February 2019.

Meanwhile, another man, Haron Ajega, 73, was arrested on charges of murdering the child. He died last year of the disease even when a cloud of suspicion over his alleged involvement was over his head.
