Police discover woman's body dumped near Lang'ata Cemetery

In the bizarre incident, the woman’s lifeless body was discovered in a thicket, half naked with several stab injuries. 

The deceased's family say Nancy Boke Chacha went missing, only for them to receive a disturbing phone call from police notifying them she was dead. 

Detectives from the Nairobi region and their counterparts from Langa’ta Police Station combed through the forest in search of evidence. 

Preliminary investigations revealed she was sexually abused and strangled. Besides the body were her inner clothes, a sharp knife, and an identity card. 

The crime scene depicted a possible struggle and a fight. However, police say it is not yet clear whether the murder happened near the cemetery or the deceased was killed elsewhere and her body dumped in the thicket. 

A forensic analysis identified the body as that of 23-year-old Nancy Boke Chacha. 

Investigators are now revisiting Boke’s last moments with a view of trailing who she was with before the murder, as well as tracing her last steps.

Her body is being preserved at the Nairobi Funeral Home awaiting an autopsy as a manhunt for the perpetrators kicks off.
