Family of late Wells Fargo boss gather at Lee Funeral

Family and friends of the late Wells Fargo Manager Willis Ayieko on Tuesday gathered at the Lee Funeral Home awaiting his autopsy.

It was not difficult to see their broken hearts from their expressions, and especially with Ayieko's wife who was clad in a black dress.

Among the notable people was Siaya Governor James Orengo and Alego usonga Mp Samuel Atandi.

The postmortem aimed at establishing how he died and also form the basis of the case detectives are preparing.

Sources aware of the probe revealed they have a clue on the motive and hope to make arrests soon. Among those so far grilled include two M-Pesa agents who operate in Siaya.

This is after it emerged the killers of Ayieko withdrew money from his mobile phone through mobile banking.

The agents are supposed to help detectives identify the men who withdrew at least Sh100,000 in different locations in Siaya between October 19 and 20.

Ayieko’s body was discovered in Mungowere stream in Yala, Siaya County on October 23 at 2 pm.

The family had reported he was missing on Monday, October 21.

Police said the body was decomposed when it was discovered by a student.

It had bruises on the face and stomach indicating it was dragged on a rough surface.

The body was half-naked and seemed to have been tortured elsewhere before being dumped at the scene.

The killers then drove his car to Sabatia area, in Kakamega, which is a few kilometres away and abandoned it on the roadside.

Ayieko went missing last Friday, October 18 after attending a burial vigil event in Gem, Siaya County.
