On Monday, Government Pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor began conducting postmortem examinations on several mutilated bodies recovered from the Kware dumpsite in Nairobi.
He stated that the victim’s body showed mutilation in the lumbar region, located on the lower abdomen, inflicted by a sharp object. Oduor revealed that the victim likely died from excessive bleeding caused by a head injury from a blunt object used by the perpetrator.
The government pathologist mentioned that the examination of the remaining bodies would begin on Wednesday, July 17, starting with X-rays. Oduor explained, “We will continue this process until completion, as some body parts are missing. This will help determine the number of individuals involved and the causes of death.”
Oduor, while discussing the initial findings, ruled out similarities between these deaths and that of Rita Waeni, who was murdered over six months ago. He explained that in Waeni’s case, most body parts, including the legs and trunk, were severely mutilated.
“For Waeni, the legs were separated, and each body part was distinct,” clarified Johansen Oduor.
These remarks from Oduor followed a statement by Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) chief Mohamed Amin, who announced the arrest of a key suspect linked to the deaths of over nine women whose bodies were found at a disused quarry-turned dumpsite in Mukuru, Nairobi.
Mohamed Amin reported that the suspect was apprehended early Monday morning outside a club in Nairobi’s Kayole area while watching the Euro 2024 final match.
“As we were arresting him this morning, he was in the midst of luring another victim. As our investigations progress, we expect to locate and assist this victim,” Amin stated.
“We anticipate apprehending more suspects because we believe he did not act alone in this heinous crime. Soon, we will apprehend them. We are expanding our investigation,” he added.
