• Some of the bags contained trash and dog carcass.

The DCI via their social media has stated that several mutilated bodies were discovered in Kware area' Mukuru kwa Njenga.

They also clarified some of the bags that were retrieved contained garbage while another contained the carcass of a dead dog.

"Further to the statement made yesterday July 12, 2024, the DCI would like to inform the public that five more nylon bags were retrieved from the quarry today. Three bags contained female body parts as follows: the first bag had two legs from the knee downwards, the second bag contained two body parts, one from the neck to the waist and another from the head to the waist, and the third bag contained a lower limb from the thigh to the knee."

They assured the public a thorough investigation.

"For the other two bags, one contained a dog carcass while the other was full of garbage. We want to assure the public that our investigations will be thorough and shall cover a wide range of areas, including but not limited to the possible activities of cultists and serial killings. As the government deploys all necessary resources and manpower to expedite this investigation, we appeal to the members of the public to remain calm and give our detectives a chance to deliver justice to the victims of this horrendous scene."

The DCI has asked Kenyans for time to investigate the killings so as to give closure to such families.

"Moments ago, a select team of our homicide detectives and forensic experts based at the National Forensic Laboratory, whose role is very crucial in evidence gathering before the scene is tampered with, were impeded by agitated members of the public from accessing the scene.

In full understanding of the emotive nature of these developments, we urge our fellow Kenyans to allow us to handle this scene in order to give closure to the families and bring to book any culpable persons.

We also invite the families, all interested parties, LSK, civil society organizations and human rights activists to participate in the postmortem exercise to ensure that the investigations are carried out most transparently and openly."
