allAfrica.com: Kenya: Kengen Diver's Body Found in Kiambere Dam
THE body of a Kengen diver who drowned in Kiambere Dam has been recovered after a four-day search.
Francis Kinuthia Kinuthia's body was seen floating on Friday.
The 52-year-old, who was based in Kamburu Dam, drowned last Tuesday.
He had accompanied other divers to search for the body of 19-year-old Patrick Njue.
Njue drowned in the dam while fishing on February 1.
His body was recovered last Wednesday.
Mbeere South police boss Mathew Ekakoro said Kinuthia's body was taken to Embu Level Five Hospital mortuary.
He said the deaths were unfortunate.
Ekakoro urged fishermen and residents living near the dam to be careful when carrying out their activities.
He urged them not to sit on the banks of the dams or allow children to play in the area as it is infested with crocodiles.
