The search for a businessman who went missing after his car plunged into the flooding Sagana River in Kirinyaga county ended Sunday after Kenya Defence Forces divers found his body.
The decomposing body of the businessman, Samuel Kamau, 41, was spotted floating, two kilometres from where he drowned.
However, his vehicle, Nissan Double Cabin is yet to be recovered.
Kirinyaga West Sub-county police boss Mr Moses Koskei thanked the residents for assisting in the search mission.
On May 2, Kamau disappeared under unclear circumstances, forcing the family members and police to embark on a thorough search of him.
Kamau, a son of Kagio tycoon, the late Peter Kagwanja was travelling home from the neighbouring Murang'a County at around 11 pm when he got into the accident which left the family reeling in shock.
