The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has revealed further shocking discoveries in the ongoing investigation at a local quarry in Nairobi’s Mukuru kwa Njenga slums. On Saturday, July 12, 2024, five more nylon bags containing severely mutilated, decomposing bodies were unearthed. Disturbingly, three of these bags contained dismembered female body parts.
One bag held two severed legs, another had sections of a body from the neck to the waist and from the head to the waist, while the third contained a lower limb from the thigh to the knee. The other two bags held non-human contents: a dog’s carcass and garbage.
The DCI has pledged a thorough investigation, exploring all angles, including potential involvement of cultists or serial killers. The government is mobilizing resources and manpower to expedite the inquiry.
Tensions ran high as a team of homicide detectives and forensic experts faced obstruction from agitated residents while trying to access the scene. Protesters at the nearby Kware police station were dispersed with teargas and gunfire.
The DCI acknowledges the emotional toll on the public and urges calm, emphasizing the need for detectives to work without hindrance to ensure justice for the victims.

These grim discoveries come amidst weeks of anti-government protests sparked by a now-scrapped finance bill, resulting in numerous civilian deaths due to a heavy-handed police response. Human rights groups have accused security forces of abductions during the protests.
The discovery has reignited public outrage and highlighted Kenya’s ongoing femicide crisis, just months after mass protests against gender-based violence.
To maintain transparency, the DCI has invited victims’ families, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), civil society organizations, and human rights activists to participate in the postmortem exercise, ensuring an open and thorough investigation to bring closure and accountability.
