Rachel Adhiambo had travelled from Kisumu on Friday night after attending her graduation ceremony at Kabarak University in Nakuru.
She was heading home to reunite with her family for the holidays but never reached her destination.
Reports indicate that Rachel alighted from a bus at Bondo town later that night before boarding a motorcycle to travel approximately thirty kilometres toward her home.
Family members had advised her to wait for them to pick her up, but she opted to proceed and suggested they meet at Usenge.
Concern grew after she failed to arrive at the agreed location.
Communication with her later raised alarm when she mentioned being stranded on a rough road after the motorcycle allegedly ran out of fuel.
The explanation heightened fears, as the route she was expected to use is a main highway.
The following day her husband travelled from Vihiga and went to Bondo Hospital while searching for answers.
Police later informed the family that Rachel’s body had been discovered about two hundred metres from the Usenge-Bondo road.
The body was reportedly found by members of the public dumped along the roadside.
Preliminary findings indicated that she had been attacked, robbed of her belongings and killed.
Her phone and other personal items were missing.
Rachel Adhiambo was a mother of two and served as a legal officer with the Vihiga County Government.
Her death has left family, colleagues and residents in shock as investigations continue to bring those responsible to justice.
