The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has clarified the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Ndayishimiye Deo, a Burundian national who initially reported the disappearance of 34-year-old Farida Peter Sangka, whose body was later recovered from a shallow grave at a farm in Entarakuet, Isinya, Kajiado County.

According to preliminary investigations, Deo, a farmhand employed by the deceased’s husband, Shon David Rabassa Kioko, assisted in burying Farida’s body after allegedly being instructed to do so by his employer.

The DCI says that on Saturday, October 24, 2026, Kioko summoned Deo and instructed him to help bury his wife’s body. Deo complied and later returned to his own residence, as he did not live at his employer’s premises.

Three days later, on Tuesday, October 27, Kioko reportedly went to Isinya Police Station accompanied by his son and reported his wife missing, presenting her photograph to officers.

Meanwhile, Deo had confided in a friend about what had happened. The friend, who has since recorded a statement with detectives, advised him to report the matter to police.

Deo subsequently reported the incident at Kiserian Police Station on Wednesday, October 28, prompting police action that led to the discovery and recovery of Farida’s body from the shallow grave.

The DCI says that while Deo’s report brought the matter to the attention of law enforcement, it does not absolve him of responsibility for his alleged involvement in concealing the body.

Both Deo and Kioko therefore remain in custody as detectives continue investigations to establish the full circumstances surrounding Farida’s death.

The DCI has emphasised that reporting crime is a civic responsibility. However, where investigations establish that a person reporting an offence also participated in its commission or concealment, that person remains subject to due process of the law.
