Ndagara, who is a journalist by profession, expressed deep shock and pain while describing gory details of the remains of the 16-year- old which was consumed up to two thirds.
"After three days of the family members looking for her body, this is a third of her body that remained after the fierce crocodile had consumed over two thirds of her body that remains were found over 8km downstream near Kibuuka falls", wrote the young MCA in a WhatsApp group from his home area.
The remains were retrieved and taken to Kyuso Level Four Hospital morgue on Tuesday December 26.
The MCA called upon parents of Thagichu sub county to desist from sending children to go fetch water or even grown ups going alone to fetch water in the crocodile infested Tana River.
