Police are investigating a bizarre incident in Eldoret Town where a man received a parcel containing three human fingers tied with six live bullets.
The receiver told police that on Friday, an unknown man called him, saying he had a parcel for him.
After the receiver gave his location, the sender dispatched a rider to deliver the package.
While the receiver was in a bar, the rider called to say he had arrived.
Upon receiving the envelope and opening it, the man discovered three human fingers and the bullets inside.
Police who arrived at the scene confirmed the parcel contained three fingers, a forefinger, a ring finger, and a little finger, all from a left hand, along with four 7.62mm and two 9mm live bullets. There was no written message inside.
The fingers were taken to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital Mortuary for verification, while the bullets were sent for ballistic testing.
The sender remains unidentified.
Police have questioned the rider and are working to trace the sender, who has switched off his phone.
Authorities are yet to determine the motive and the identity of the fingers’ owner.
They have taken fingerprints from the fingers for further analysis, indicating that a person may have been killed or mutilated.
Meanwhile, police in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado County, are investigating the death of a passenger found unresponsive in a matatu.
The bus crew, en route to Ongata Rongai, discovered the passenger seated on the second row from the rear. They rushed him to Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
An identity card found in the pocket identified the man as 63-year-old Abednego Musyimi Kinyili.
His body was taken to Ongata Rongai Sub-County hospital morgue, awaiting a post-mortem.
The deceased’s family has been informed.
