Yet another woman has been found dead along the Naivasha-Road Nairobi just days after the brutal murder of a mother, her daughter, and her niece in Eastleigh. Residents revealed that the body was found outside their apartment with suspicions that she had been murdered elsewhere and dumped in the area.
Narrating the unfortunate ordeal, the apartment security guard and residents revealed that the body was discovered by one of the tenants on her way out. The body had been brutally dismembered.
"It was early in the morning when we heard shouts. When we went looking, we found a woman's body had been dumped."
"They had dismembered her body like that of a chicken and from the looks of it, they left with her heart, intestines, and her private parts," Dennis Nyakwae, a resident, narrated.
According to the security guard, there was no blood at the scene explaining that the murder was not done in that area.
"We found her dumped there. There was no blood at the scene and that's how we knew she was not murdered there," Nancy Kemunto, the apartment's security guard, told the press.
Police at Riruta Police Station, therefore, launched investigations of the incident which marks the seventh death in under a week witnessed in the country.
In Eastleigh, a woman, her daughter, and her niece were found murdered by people known to them according to the police.
“The murders are linked to ransom. The killers were holding the women while demanding a ransom but in the process, the women identified one or two of the suspects which angered them," an officer aware of the probe revealed on Friday.
Just before their murder, the body of Seth Nyakio Njeri, a Zetech University alumnus and Kirinyaga MCA's daughter, was discovered in a rental apartment in the Biafra area, Thika County, on Sunday, October 20, in what appeared to be a homicide.
Her distraught relatives say the Zetech University graduate left their home in Kamakis on Saturday in a jovial mood.
Her mother, Lucy Njeri, a nominated Member of the Kirinyaga County Assembly (MCA) said her only daughter was in high spirits on the fateful day. Nyakio is believed to have been killed by unknown assailants.
Following the deaths, the Director of Criminal Investigations has been urged to find the culprits. Police IG Douglas Kanja has also been challenged to beef up security and protect women who fall victim to such murders.
"The Inspector General of Police Mr. Douglas Kanja must come out publicly and assure all women and girls of their safety." Christine Kungu, FIDA's chairperson decried on Wednesday 23.
