Tears flowed freely and screams rent the air as police moved in to collect the remains of the boy who was said to be epileptic.
The class four boy minor had left home for school but did not come back prompting the family to begin his search.
According to a local elder Peter Wanyoike, the family had sleepless nights before the body was found by herders near the vast Marula farm on Tuesday morning.
Wanyoike said although the deceased had been ailing for some time, he was quiet and did not mingle with friends complicating his search that also involved police.
"It is sad that after our search that took us to nearly all places in and out of Naivasha we have come to a painful ending," he said.
Naivasha OCPD Samuel Waweru confirmed the incident saying the badly decomposed body had been collected and taken to the Naivasha sub-county hospital mortuary.
Meanwhile over ten families were forced to spend the night in the cold following a fierce fire that gutted down several homes at Kabati estate in Naivasha.
The fire whose cause was not immediately known spread fast due to strong winds leaving the owners counting losses running into thousands of shillings.
Ironically this is the second time in two months that the residential plot has been hit by a fire incident with locals calling for thorough investigations.
A resident Alice Mwihaki said the fire began from one of the houses and spread fast to the rest before fire fighters from the county government arrived to contain it.
"Nothing could be salvaged due to the prevailing winds but we managed to rescue all the occupants so there were no injuries," she said.
The OCPD confirmed the incident saying investigations have commenced though the cause could not be identified.
"We thank the county government for responding in time before the fire could spread to other areas and we are also appealing to well wishers to help the affected families," he said.
