Bodies are being retrieved from a dumpsite near Kware Police Station in Mukuru Kwa Njenga and it is pretty sad.
At least four badly mutilated bodies wrapped in polythene bags have been retrieved at the Kware dumpsite near Mukuru kwa Njenga slums in Nairobi.
According to an eyewitness who spoke to Citizen Digital, the bodies, all female, had visible injuries and had been tied with ropes. There are fears that more bodies could be found as the search intensifies.
The eyewitness called on the government to investigate the killings to determine what happened to the women who are yet to be positively identified.
“A woman came and told me that she dreamt of the whereabouts of her missing sister and wanted us to go and retrieve her body. We doubted her at first and as we approached the scene, spotted a wrapped polythene bag,” said the eyewitness.
“Upon examining the area, we found several bodies wrapped in the polythene bags with some being cut into pieces and tied with ropes. If they lived nearby, we would have heard of the reports which means that these bodies were transferred to this location. We want the government to investigate this matter.”
Police officers arrived and cordoned off the area.
The bodies were transferred to City Mortuary as the search gets underway to positively identify them.
Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo called for police to investigate the matter to establish what transpired.
Mutilated Female Bodies Retrieved In Mukuru Kwa Njenga Dumpsite
Bodies retrieved from Mukuru kwa Njenga in Nairobi on July 12, 2024.
These are horrific murders and the sequence of events leading to the killing and dumping of their bodies near Kware Police Station has to be unearthed. There is a lot of speculation about how these women were killed.
Another shocking thing is the move by the government to have the DPP issuing directions and time lines for investigations as bodies are still being retrieved from the dumpsite. What the heck is the DPP doing instructing the police investigation.
DPP Issues 21 Days For Probe Into Killing Of Victims Found Dumped Near Police Station In Mukuru Slums
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga has ordered Acting Police Inspector General (IG) Douglas Kanja Kirocho to promptly initiate investigations into the discovery of six mutilated bodies at a dumpsite in Mukuru kwa Njenga on Friday.
The six bodies, all female and in various stages of decomposition, were recovered at Kware dumpsite which is reportedly located just a stone’s throw away from Kware Police Station.
In a statement Friday, the DPP gave Kirocho 21 days to submit a report on the same, further underscoring the gravity of the situation owing to the crime scene’s close proximity to the said police precinct.
The reason why the DPP jumping into the investigation instead of waiting for prosecution which is his job is disturbing is that there are two possibilities about this tragedy.
One is that it was a serial killer or a bunch of serial killers. If that is the case they had a lot of time. They killed them and cut them to pieces and tied them in bags and had all the time to take the bodies to a dumpsite near a police station and nobody saw anything.
The other possibility is that these bodies were dumped there by the police with a high chance that Kwaro Police Station were given bodies and nobody knows whether they were cutting already dead bodies.
Whoever was chopping these women apart had a lot of time and security to commit those terrible crimes. Also from the reports all the bodies were cut up very badly which makes it apparent that the killers wanted to make it impossible to identify who these women are.
The first thing Kenyans want to know is what are the names of the women found dead. Who are these Kenyans who faced such violence. Then the autopsy can be done with the involvement of their families.
The second thing is for the government is to allow access to the scene of the crimes near Kwaro Police Station to human rights organizations both local and international and the media to go in there and collect whatever evidence and information they can get about what happened. That should be in the best interest of everybody including the Kenya government.
People can enter Mukuru Kwa Njenga through the Railway Training School (RTS) we used to call it RATASA when we lived there. But for God’s sake let Kenyans go to the crime scene and help to figure things out.
All the time we hear the Ruto government asking Kenyans to provide evidence of any possible police crimes. How will the public provide any evidence when they are not even allowed to go where these crimes have been committed?
