A man drowned near Sare beach in Suba South constituency on Tuesday evening during a fishing expedition in Lake Victoria. Hezron Wamalwa, 22, drowned after slipping from the boat as he was casting nets into the water. “He stood to cast the net but he accidentally slipped into the lake and drowned as the boat was moving. The presence of a strong wind destabilised the boat,” Suba South Beach Management Unit chairman William Onditi said. Homa Bay county police commander Esther Seroney urged fishermen to avoid going into the lake when it is windy.
