Nakuru commercial sex workers say a serial killer is targeting and mutilating them.
Yesterday, they protested on Kenyatta Avenue against the rise in murders.
They demanded county police catch the killer.
Four sex workers were found dead under mysterious circumstances between September and October last year.
Two had their skin peeled off and the others’ eyes were gouged out, the sex workers say.
Last Saturday, another sex worker, 20-year-old Grace Wangari, was killed at Tumaini lodging.
Their spokesperson Daisy Achieng said: “We cannot hold funerals for our members every other time. We are tired of our ladies being killed.”
She said Wangari had only recently joined the trade and it is unfortunate “we have lost a lady respected by many”.
Achieng asked the county government to provide upkeep for Wangari’s two-year old.
Achieng also urged the lodging owner to provide CCTV footage.
The sex workers later attended Wangari’s burial in Molo town.
