Officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have launched investigations after the discovery of human remains at a dumpsite in Mukuru kwa Njenga in Embakasi, DCI boss Mohamed Amin has said

At least six severely mutilated bodies, all female, were discovered by members of the public at an abandoned quarry that is currently filled with water in the area.

The bodies, at various stages of decomposition, were wrapped in nylon papers.

“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,” confirmed the DCI Director

The recovered bodies have since 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,” said Amin in a statement

At the moment, the victims remain unknown and when their bodies were dumped in the area is also a mystery.
