Detectives are probing the circumstances surrounding the death of an unidentified woman, whose naked body was located in a river flowing through Kasarani, Nairobi.
The discovery was made on Saturday, January 13.
According to the police, the woman's body was found concealed in a sack with her arms and legs bound.
As of now, the identity of the perpetrators and the motive behind the crime remain unknown.
The police reported that the woman, whose body was found in the river in Lucky Summer, had sustained stab wounds on her neck, likely inflicted prior to being thrown into the water.
Initially believed to be discarded luggage, the sack retrieved by the police was later found to contain the woman's lifeless body.
Her remains have been transferred to the City Mortuary, pending identification and a post-mortem examination.
Nairobi's Police Chief, Adamson Bungei, noted that no arrests have been made and the woman's identity remains unknown.
He added that her fingerprints were collected to aid in the identification process.
Police have called on Kenyans with any information on the incident to present themselves at the local police station.
“Families missing their kin were also advised to visit the City Mortuary to help identify the victim,” said Bungei.
Police suspect the woman was killed elsewhere and dumped in the water before being washed downstream.
