What you need to know:

  • When Sharlet Atieno fell into the river Derick Ouka jumped into the river in an attempt to rescue her.
  • The search for the two bodies, which began on Saturday afternoon, was still going on by Monday evening.
  • Bondo police say divers from Nairobi will arrive in the area soon to help in the search for the bodies

When Ms Sharlet Atieno and Mr Derick Ouka planned their usual Saturday outing to Siaya town, little did they know the tragedy that lay ahead.

This was the second time the pair and two other friends — Beatrice Stephanie Atieno and Steven Omondi — had planned for a photo shoot on the banks of River Yala.
