NPS Issues An Official Statement on Discovery of Bodies in Mukuru kwa Njenga: Earlier today at approximately 1100hrs, the Embakasi Division Police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) responded to an urgent call from the public in the Villa area of Mukuru kwa Njenga.
The alarm was raised following the discovery of six severely mutilated bodies, all female, in various stages of decomposition. The bodies were wrapped in nylon papers and reinforced with nylon ropes.
The grim discovery was made at an abandoned quarry, currently filled with water and used as a dumpsite. Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) personnel from Embakasi quickly arrived at the scene, retrieving the bodies and documenting the area.
Preliminary investigations suggest a similar mode of killing for the deceased. The bodies have been transported to the City Mortuary, where they await postmortem examinations.
Homicide detectives and officers from the Forensics Division of the DCI are currently analyzing samples to identify the bodies.
The area has been cordoned off and designated as a crime scene as the investigation continues.
As we await the findings from the post-mortem and forensic examinations, the DCI appeals to the public to cooperate with the authorities as investigations continue.
