Police have arrested a suspect after several mutilated female bodies were found at a garbage dump in Kenya.
Police in Nairobi said Monday that he confessed during questioning to killing 42 women. The discovery of the mutilated bodies in a garbage dump in the capital this weekend caused horror outside Kenya.
Homicide investigators and forensic experts are trying to clarify the identity of the dead. According to the initial findings of the police, the victims were murdered about two weeks ago. The location is near a police station. The background of the murders is still unclear.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations said preliminary investigations showed all the victims were killed in the same manner. The search for human remains at the dump was watched by an angry crowd.
Were the police involved in the deaths?
Apart from the police investigation, the watchdog will “conduct preliminary investigations to establish whether police were involved in the deaths or failed to prevent them,” police watchdog IPOA said after the mutilated bodies were found at a dump in an abandoned quarry in Mukuru, south of the capital.
“The bodies, wrapped in plastic bags and tied with nylon ropes, showed visible signs of torture and mutilation,” the IPOA said, adding that the site was less than 100 metres from a police station. Kenyan police have been under close surveillance since dozens of people were killed in anti-government protests last month.
