The new acting police chief, Douglas Kanja, said that early findings have shown that all the bodies found were female, badly cut up, decomposing at different rates, and wrapped in sacks.
Eight bodies were found in a pit.
After at least eight bodies were found in a pit in Nairobi’s Mukuru slums, the acting inspector general of police moved all the police officers stationed at Kware Police Station.
After the bodies were found, Kanja said the move was needed to make sure that the investigations would be fair and unbiased.
Action against the cops.
As five more bodies are found in the Embakasi quarry, lobbying groups call for action against the cops.
After bodies were found in Kware, FIDA spoke out against a “pattern of violence against women.” The DPP also ordered an investigation after bodies were found in Kware that had been cut up.
He said that eight bodies have been taken out of the quarry in the Kware area in Embakasi so far.
Kanja said that six bodies were found on July 12, and the rest were found on July 13.
bags of dead female bodies
“Today, five more bags were found in the same quarry.” “Two of the bags had human body parts in them, and the other two had a dog’s body and trash in them,” Kanja said.
“The eight bodies that were found are being kept safe at the Nairobi Funeral Home (City Mortuary) right now.” The scene is still busy, and police are still investigating what happened.
Kanja said that early findings have shown that all the bodies found were female, badly cut up, decomposing at different rates, and wrapped in sacks.
DCI Director Mohamed Amin
DCI Director Mohamed Amin also talked to the press at Jogoo House in Nairobi.
According to the Police Reforms Working Groups (PRWG), 13 bodies were found at the scene. They said eight bodies were found on Friday, and five bodies were found yesterday.
On Saturday, the PRWGs said there were five bodies. This number came from the number of bags that were taken from the quarry and opened at the City morgue, where only three were found to contain body parts.
Kanja said that he and the rest of the National Police Service understand how much the tragedy hurts the families, the people of Kware, and all of Kenya.
“The police service and I want to reassure the public that we will always do investigations that are open, thorough, and quick.”
“Our department’s resources and officers, along with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), are working hard to finish the investigations within 21 days,” Kanja said.
“Furthermore, we are committed to ensuring that the post-mortem examination process is open and honest, working with the media and civil society as needed.” All the officers from the Kware police station have been moved so that the probes are fair.
They are still at the scene to look for and recover any other bodies that might be there. The Homicides Unit of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) oversees the investigations.
Kanja told the people of Kware and the whole country to be calm and patient and to give police time to finish their investigations. He also said, “We stand with the community and remain committed to uncovering the truth and bringing those responsible to justice.”
On Saturday, members of the public interrupted the exercise and asked how many bodies had been found in the abandoned quarry that had been turned into a dump. They also pushed the officers away from the scene, which caused the police to stop the exercise temporarily.
