2026 - Shock and grief have engulfed Kisumu and the wider creative
community following the brutal death of young photographer and freelance
journalist Joseph Owino, popularly known as Joe Miles.
The mid‑20s storyteller, celebrated for capturing everyday
life across western Kenya, was discovered lifeless in a thicket in Naivasha
days after being lured by a fake client.
On Tuesday, March 3rd, Joe received a call from
someone posing as a client in need of photography services.
He left home expecting another assignment, another story to
document but he never returned.
Worried after his phone went silent, family and friends launched
a search that has sadly ended in heartbreak after his lifeless body was found,
sending grief and outrage across Kisumu.
Tellingly, his camera and photography equipment - tools of
his craft were also found next to his body.
Friends and relatives who viewed the body described
disturbing signs suggesting he may have been brutally attacked with some parts
of his body missing, raising grim questions about the circumstances of his
death.
Joe’s family is now appealing to authorities for thorough investigation, demanding answers and justice.
