UPDATE at 7:45pm: In a chilling turn of events, it has now emerged that a woman's vivid dream about her missing sister led to a horrifying discovery at a local quarry in Mukuru on Friday.
According to Moses Baraka, one of the individuals involved in the recovery efforts, the woman approached them seeking assistance after her dream indicated her sister's body might be at the site.
"We accompanied her to the location where she believed her sister's body was located, as shown in her dream," Baraka recounted.
Baraka and a group of volunteers then carefully lowered ropes into the quarry, following the woman's intuition. To their shock, they unearthed multiple bodies concealed in sacks.
So far 10 bodies have been recovered at the site, although there are varying reports. The DCI reports six bodies.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, and the country as speculations emerge over who exactly is responsible for the murders and mutilation.
Update at 6:45pm: The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has confirmed an investigation into six severely mutilated female bodies found in Mukuru kwa Njenga, suggesting a similar mode of killing among the victims.
DCI Director Mohamed Amin reported that police from the Embakasi Division responded to an urgent call about the gruesome discovery at an abandoned, water-filled quarry used as a dumpsite. The bodies, wrapped in nylon and tied with ropes, have been transported to the City Mortuary for postmortem examinations.
Homicide detectives and forensic officers are analysing samples to identify the victims, while the area remains cordoned off as a crime scene. The DCI urges the public to assist authorities as investigations continue.
The number of bodies retrieved from a grisly mass grave in Mukuru kwa Njenga has risen to ten, sending shockwaves through the local community and across the nation.
The horrific discovery began in the early afternoon, drawing a huge crowd of concerned residents to witness the unfolding tragedy.
The site of devastation, the Kware dumpsite, revealed a scene of horror as more body bags were sighted, with a handful of police officers present.
All ten bodies, found in green sacks, were dismembered and identified as female.
The gruesome recovery operation, spearheaded by local youths, revealed remains in varying conditions.
The grim scene, located near Kware Police Station opposite Pipeline, saw police actively involved in the ongoing retrieval efforts. Despite their presence, the identities of the deceased remain a mystery, and the circumstances surrounding their deaths are yet to be clarified.
Police were forced to shoot in the air to disperse the mass crowd that has turned into a protest. The group is demanding answers regarding the suspected mass grave.
Human Rights Activist Hussein Khalid released a video showing some of the recovered bodies and a witness describing the incident.
According to an unidentified witness, a group of youths initially spotted what they thought was a single dead body. Upon closer inspection, they discovered more bodies in the pit.
"We tied ropes and dropped one of us into the pit to check. He confirmed there were other bodies. They are all tied in blue sacks," the witness stated.
The lack of information has intensified fears within the local community, leaving residents grappling with uncertainty.
Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident, compelling many to turn their gaze toward law enforcement for answers.
The shocking report comes amid alarming claims of abductions linked to anti-Finance Bill protests that have erupted over the past month.
The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has raised serious concerns, alleging that at least 34 individuals have been abducted by security forces and subjected to torture since mid-June.
