Dona said the family knew Jack as a loving man and is surprised to hear the allegations of his involvement in crime being reported.
Cliff, Ochieng’s brother, said he traveled from Kisumu to help search for his brother.
Breaking into tears, Cliff said the stories doing rounds about his brother and his three friends were "lies", and described Jack as a hard worker.
“What if he was not a criminal; where is he and why are they hurting us? And if he did wrong, why not inform us? Everybody has a right to life,” he said, adding that his father suffered a stroke while his mom had a recent heart surgery and is still under medication.
The family said it has exhausted all its resources and asked the government to intervene and help find him.
Salima Njoki, an official of Haki Africa that fights for human rights said the organization has been keenly following the case since the disappearance was reported.
She said Mutyambai should be held accountable for the death of the two people whose bodies have been found and the whereabouts of the ones yet to be found.
“We have noticed a worrying trend of people disappearing and their bodies discovered dumped across the country,” she said.
Njoki wondered how the bodies found their way to Murang’a despite a blockade that has been set up at Thika to effect cessation of movement in and out of Nairobi area.
She said the families are going through an agonizing time and are only seeking answers on what led to the disappearance and death of their loved ones
