Mark Barasa, a former member of parliament for Bungoma East, was found dead on his family property in Tongaren, Bungoma County, on Wednesday.
The first MP for Bungoma East, 99-year-old Barasa served from 1963 to 1969.
The eyes, tongue, and left hand of the deceased were reportedly removed, and the body had been partially burned with acid.
