MOMBASA, Kenya – A chilling wave of fear has swept through Migadini in Mombasa after four people died mysteriously between July 9 and 14. The Ministry of Health has launched a full investigation into the strange deaths.
Bodies Found With Disturbing Symptoms
According to witnesses, the victims were found lifeless inside their homes. Their bodies showed horrifying symptoms.
“They had boil-like sores, their skin was dark and peeling like it was burnt. The smell was unbearable,” said a Migadini resident.
The Ministry confirmed that these signs were consistent across all four bodies.
Victims Identified, Medical Histories Revealed
On July 14, the situation escalated when three more deaths were reported.
A 57-year-old man was found dead in his home. He had been receiving treatment for several chronic conditions at Port-Reitz Sub-County Hospital.
Later, a 69-year-old asthmatic man was also found deceased. His body was already in the early stages of decomposition.
