Mukuru Kwa Njenga: DCI says all 6 female victims killed in similar manner, stuffed in paper bags

Bodies retrieved from Mukuru kwa Njenga in Nairobi on July 12, 2024.

Homicide detectives have taken over investigations into the mysterious killing of individuals whose bodies were discovered on Friday at an abandoned quarry in the Villa area of Mukuru kwa Njenga.

According to the Director of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin, the number of bodies retrieved from the quarry was six, all female, and were in various stages of decomposition.

The bodies, which were moved to the City Mortuary pending post-mortem, were wrapped in nylon papers and reinforced with nylon ropes.

“The grim discovery was made at an abandoned quarry, currently filled with water and used as a dump site. Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) personnel from Embakasi quickly arrived at the scene, retrieving the bodies and documenting the area,” said the DCI.

According to the DCI, preliminary investigations suggest a similar mode of killing for the deceased.

 “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,” added the DCI.

“As we await the findings from the post-mortem and forensic examinations, the DCI appeals to the public to cooperate with the authorities as investigations continue.”
