Police are investigating a murder
after the dismembered body of a woman was found near a dam in Kiminini, Trans
Nzoia.
The body of the woman was dismembered
and stuffed in a sack without the head and limbs. It was dumped near the
Naisambu Dam.
It is believed that the deceased was
killed elsewhere and the corpse was disposed of near the dam.
The motive for the Monday incident was
not immediately known, police said.
The body was moved to the mortuary
pending identification and autopsy.
In Nakuru’s Kaptembwo area, the body
of Pius Morebu, 32, was found on the roadside with fresh marks around the neck.
The body was moved to the mortuary
pending autopsy and investigations.
Elsewhere in Maili Mbili village
within the Karagita area, Naivasha, a human body was found dumped near the
railway.
Police officers who visited the scene
established that the body of a female adult, with only the chest and head
intact—other body parts missing—is believed to have been murdered elsewhere and
dumped near the railway.
Efforts to trace the other missing
body parts within the area were fruitless.
The body was moved to Naivasha
Sub-County Referral Hospital morgue for preservation, awaiting identification
and autopsy.
A mob also stoned to death two
suspects who were accused of attempting to snatch a mobile phone from a
pedestrian in the Dandora area, Nairobi.
The incident happened on June 16 along
Kangundo Road.
Police said the bodaboda rider and his
pillion passenger had attempted to snatch a mobile phone from a pedestrian who
raised an alarm.
This alerted other riders, who chased
the suspects for a few kilometres before cornering them near the Umoja Three
area.
The mob stoned the two, killing them.
They then vandalised their motorcycle and dismembered the parts, which they
stole.
The bodies were later picked up from
the scene and taken to the mortuary pending identification and autopsy.
Such incidents have been on the rise
amid efforts to address the trend.
Police term mob lynching as criminal
and urge that suspects be surrendered to authorities for processing.
