Locals of Kanyasrega Nyokal village in Awendo sub-county are reeling in shock after a woman slipped and fell into a gold mine during a mining expedition on Monday evening.

The woman, who has since been identified as 26-year-old Rose Awino, had been sourcing for gold-rich ores when she fell into a huge mine and was buried by the loose soil.
