Nairobi: Eight female bodies have been recovered so far from a dumpsite in a Nairobi slum, Kenyan police said Sunday, adding that they were pursuing possible links to cults, serial killers or rogue medical practitioners.
The gruesome discoveries of mutilated and dismembered bodies dumped in plastic bags in a rubbish tip in Mukuru in the south of the Kenyan capital have horrified and angered the nation.
Kenya's acting national police chief Douglas Kanja said the first six corpses were found on Friday and more body parts were retrieved on Saturday, with preliminary investigations revealing that all were female.
"They were severely dismembered in different states of decomposition and left in sacks," Kanja told a press conference, adding that investigations were ongoing.
Kanja also called for public cooperation in "so that we bring the perpetrators of these heinous acts to book".
