Looks like revenge for serious offending by criminals who can move around freely (employees of private or state security organs).

Police are piecing together the last movements of slain Wells Fargo HR Manager Willis Ayieko, whose mutilated body was found dumped at the Mungowere stream in Siaya County on Wednesday. According to logs seen by Citizen TV, Ayieko was last seen at a funeral in Nyaminia village in Siaya. His family members believe that he was abducted on Friday, October 21, at around 10pm before being tortured and killed. His captors would later dump his body at the border between Siaya and Kakamega counties.

His body was found with parts of his face carved out and bruises on his upper body, suggesting that he was dragged before being murdered. "Who wanted my brother dead so much that he'd hire someone to kill him in this manner? My brother died a painful death," Aggrey Onyango, Ayieko's brother, said. The deceased's decomposing body was found by a pupil on Wednesday, lying face down at the Mungowere stream in Yala. His hands were cuffed to his back.

On Tuesday, Ayieko's car was found abandoned several kilometres away at a centre in Sabatia, Kakamega County. His family reports that the car was intact and showed no signs of blood; however, his pistol, which contained 14 rounds of ammunition, was missing. Police have confirmed that the 55-year-old was a licensed gun owner. According to logs seen by Citizen TV, Ayieko left Nyamninia at around 10:15 PM on Friday and drove 13 kilometres to Nyabeda centre.

After about an hour, detectives believe the vehicle, which likely had Ayieko and his abductors on board, was moving between Regea, Nyamninia, and Muhanda centres. It then proceeded to Dudi centre, where it remained stationary between 11:57 PM and 3:44 AM on Saturday. The car later circled back to Regea, where it stopped for eight minutes. Police state that this was the last time his phone was traced. CCTV footage obtained by Citizen TV shows the car being driven toward Kakamega. At 6:04 AM on Saturday, the vehicle was seen diverting at Sabatia centre, where it was later abandoned.

The deceased's family is now calling for a thorough investigation into the killing.
"We are moving his body to Lee Funeral Home. We will share more information as investigations continue," said Onyango. Ayieko’s death has raised questions about the security of Kenyans following the spate of murders seen over the last few months.

Transferring the body from Vihiga to Lee tells alot.
 
Chief pathologist is in Nairobi.

Autopsy has to be thoroughly documented for investigative and prosecutorial purposes if the perpetrators are apprehended.
Chief pathologist is mobile, he can and visits different morgues to conduct postmortem, but let our brother rest in peace.

One suspect arrested in murder of Wells Fargo HR boss Willis Ayieko​

What you need to know:
  • In November 2023, Wells Fargo hit news headlines after members of its staff made away with the Sh94 million on transit from Quick Mart Supermarket. The money was to be deposited in a bank along Kenyatta Avenue in Nairobi.
  • A family source said that the theft triggered the company to conduct an internal investigation.
Detectives in Nairobi have arrested a man they suspect was involved in the murder of Wells Fargo's head of human resources Willis Ayieko.
The suspect, identified as Victor Ouma Okoth, was captured on Tuesday by detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Dandora Phase Four, where he was allegedly hiding. DCI boss Mohamed Amin said that the suspect was being held at Muthaiga Police Station. “The suspect was placed at the scene of crime through forensic analysis,” Mr Amin said.

The Nation understands that a joint team of detectives drawn from the homicide wing, crime research and intelligence bureau are investigating the matter. Before his death, Mr Ayieko was part of an internal Wells Fargo team that was investigating the Sh94 million heist that hit the security firm in November 2023.
Family sources, friends, and his former colleagues at Wells Fargo shared the information with the Nation. His brutalised body was on October 23, 2024, discovered inside a shallow stream in Siaya County, three days after he was reported missing.

In November 2023, Wells Fargo hit news headlines after members of its staff made away with the Sh94 million on transit from Quick Mart Supermarket. The money was to be deposited in a bank along Kenyatta Avenue in Nairobi. A family source said that the theft triggered the company to conduct an internal investigation. This was after the company's top leadership held a series of crisis meetings as the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) conducted a separate criminal probe.

“The management of the security company sat in a series of high-level meetings to mitigate the crisis. Willis Ayieko, the HR manager was in these meetings where the company initiated a parallel internal investigation into the matter,” said a family member. According to him, following the internal investigations, a number of suspects working in the security company were arrested after forensic analysis of their communication data linked them to the heists.

A member of staff who spoke to the Nation in relation to the role of the committee that conducted the internal investigation said the team managed to unearth extra information that played a role in getting to the bottom of the matter. “During the investigations, the team was dedicated to finding out what really happened and to be honest heads rolled during that time,” said the staff member who spoke in confidence as he is not authorised to speak to the media.

On Monday, the Nation reached out to the security company and the head of legal said that the firm could not comment on the matter. “We cannot comment with regards to the matter,” said the person who introduced herself as Wells Fargo’s head of legal.
