At least four badly mutilated bodies wrapped in polythene bags have been retrieved at the Kware dumpsite near Mukuru kwa Njenga slums in Nairobi.

According to an eyewitness who spoke to Citizen Digital, the bodies, all female, had visible injuries and had been tied with ropes. There are fears that more bodies could be found as the search intensifies.

The eyewitness called on the government to investigate the killings to determine what happened to the women who are yet to be positively identified.

“A woman came and told me that she dreamt of the whereabouts of her missing sister and wanted us to go and retrieve her body. We doubted her at first and as we approached the scene, spotted a wrapped polythene bag,” said the eyewitness.

“Upon examining the area, we found several bodies wrapped in the polythene bags with some being cut into pieces and tied with ropes. If they lived nearby, we would have heard of the reports which means that these bodies were transferred to this location. We want the government to investigate this matter.”

Police officers arrived and cordoned off the area.

The bodies were transferred to City Mortuary as the search gets underway to positively identify them.

Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo called for police to investigate the matter to establish what transpired. 

“We need investigations to be done! Unacceptable,” she said.
