Residents of Kware area in Ongata Rongai are still in shock after
stumbling upon a headless cock. It is suspected that it was used in
witchcraft. Apparently, the cock showed no signs of pain.
Rachel Danson, a Kware resident,
who operates a
kiosk near the site where the headless cock was found, said that she
found something put in a white polythene paper in the morning near her
kiosk but she did not bother opening it since she thought it was waste
dumped along the road by the residents. “I spotted the white polythene
paper in the morning but I did not open it because I thought it was
waste dumped along the road,” Rachel told The Standard. One of her
neighbours later inspected the paper and informed her that it contained a
breathing creature. “At first we were afraid to check but we opted to
do so when another neighbour dared to open and find out what it was,”
she said. Frightened residents ran for dear life when a cock without a
head emerged from the polythene paper and walked freely along the road
as another dead and rotten cock which was black in colour was left in
the polythene paper. One resident alleged that the cock was probably
used for witchcraft purposes, saying that the area is well identified
with the practice.
