Police are investigating the murder of two men whose bodies were found dumped on the roadside in Menengai, Nakuru County.
The two badly mutilated male bodies were found dumped along the Mogotio-Kipkitur road at Kinoyo village.
Police said both bodies were naked, their hands chopped off,
with multiple other physical injuries.
The two are believed to have been tortured, killed elsewhere and
dumped at the scene.
The motive of the murder and those behind the same are yet to be
established.
Police took the bodies to the mortuary in Nakuru pending identification,
autopsy and other investigations.
