Human bone remains found in a ranch in Machakos County on Tuesday, May 16, sparked fears that there might be a mass grave in the expansive area.

Residents living around Yatta B2 Ranch, which is located in Kalelini area, Kanyonyoo, and borders Yatta as well as Kitui constituencies stumbled upon the bones believed to have been buried there under questionable circumstances. 

While calling for investigations, the residents are now fearful that more bodies may have been buried there.

Yatta B2 Ranch is one of the most expansive lands in the Lower Eastern region, spanning over 53,000 acres which may take investigative officers weeks should they commence investigations.

 

In August 2021, 15 people went missing in the Yatta B2 Ranch after over 100 armed goons invaded individuals who had squatted on the ranch.

With the finding of human remains, Kenyans were fearful that the region could have been used to bury the victims. 

The remains in Yatta B2 Ranch are yet to be identified to ascertain the circumstances that led to the death of the victims.

The findings from Yatta B2 ranch came at a time when Chakama Ranch in Kilifi County had been declared a crime scene.

That was after bodies were found buried in shallow graves in Shakahola Forest found within the ranch.

The bodies were believed to have been buried under the direction of suspected cult pastor, Paul Mackenzie, who is said to have induced forced starvation on his followers under the guise of religious fasting. 

Speaking at the crime scene, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki vowed that no stone would be left unturned.

"While the state remains respectful of religious freedom, this horrendous blight on our conscience must lead to the most severe punishment of the perpetrator,” Kindiki vowed on Sunday, April 23. 

Kenyans around Masinga, Kitui Rural and Yatta Constituencies were asked to report if they had their relatives disappear in recent times. By KIOKO NYAMASYO , Kenyans.co.ke
