Police in Kenya have made a chilling discovery in the capital city of Nairobi, as they found five bags filled with the dismembered remains of several women at a rubbish dump in the Mukuru slum. This comes just a day after the bodies of six other women were found in sacks floating in a sea of garbage.
Authorities suspect that the deaths could be linked to the activities of cultists or serial killers, but there are also concerns about potential police involvement in these gruesome killings. The Independent Police Oversight Authority is investigating whether officers played a role in the murders, especially in light of recent allegations of human rights abuses during anti-government protests.
As tensions rise in the community, with angry protesters threatening to open the bags filled with human remains, police have deployed water cannons to the scene to maintain order. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is urging the public to remain calm and allow them space to conduct a thorough investigation.
President William Ruto has promised that those responsible for these heinous crimes will be held accountable, emphasizing the country’s commitment to the rule of law. This case is just the latest in a series of disturbing incidents in Kenya, including the discovery of hundreds of bodies associated with a doomsday cult in Malindi last year.
As the investigation unfolds, the nation waits anxiously for answers and justice for the victims of these horrific crimes.
