The government has pledged thorough investigations into the murder of Sharon Otieno and abduction of Nation Media Group Barack Oduor.
This came amid a public outcry in calls for justice for the Rongo University student who was found dead in Kodera forest on Wednesday.
Government spokesman Erick Kiraithe condemned the incident and condoled with the family adding that the state will entrench media freedom.
"The matter will be expeditiously investigated and the perpetrators of this heinous crime will be made to face the full force of the law."
"Once again, the government reiterates its dedication to uphold and protect media freedom," Kiraithe added.
Kenya Union of Journalists secretary Eric Oduor has also written to the inspector of general police to investigate the incidence.
