One of the bodies was blind folded with a piece of cloth and its mouth gagged, with the second having a polythene bag wrapped over the head covering the face.
The bodies were discovered on Friday evening by a herder who had gone to water a flock of livestock at the river.
The discovery brings to 29 the total number of bodies discovered in the river since October last year.
“We suspect the bodies have been swept from upstream by the flooded river because of the heavy rains reported in the highlands,” Gem Sub-county police commander Charles Chacha said.
In an operation led by local diver Nicholas Okeyo, the two bodies were retrieved and taken to Yala Sub-county hospital mortuary.
Reports indicate that one of the bodies was found blindfolded with a piece of cloth and the mouth gagged. The other was wrapped with a polythene bag over the head.
