Witchcraft labelling, culture and traditions have emerged as some of the factors that are fueling violations against human rights in Kisii.
The county has been rocked by killings and other incidents that have sparked public concern.
This saw the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights send a team to the county to conduct an inquest into the rights violations that have been targeting children, the elderly and the vulnerable in the community.
The commission on Friday said cultism and witchcraft that has seen an increase in body parts harvesting also emerged as leading factors as the inquest continues.
Other reasons given by those who spoke to the officials include land and inheritance issues, drug abuse among the youth, self-proclaimed militia groups, poverty and unemployment, family disputes and lack of integrity law and security enforcers in the county.
