Cruel Find: Mutilated Corpses in Nairobi

Criminality - Cruel Find: Mutilated Corpses in Nairobi

A grisly discovery by Kenyan investigators presents a conundrum: In a former quarry in a Nairobi slum, which has been used as a dumping ground, locals discovered plastic-bagged body parts. The police reported in an initial statement on Friday that the remains were of six women.

However, human rights organizations that had rushed to the scene on Friday spoke of eight bodies. The police, however, stated that the body parts had been divided among several sacks. Detectives and forensic experts are working to identify the deceased. Preliminary police findings suggest that the victims were killed approximately two weeks ago. The discovery site is near a police station.

Rising number of violent crimes against Women

The background of the crimes is still unclear. At the beginning of the year, there were nationwide protests against femicides due to a rising number of violent crimes against women. Since then, there have been further cases where women were murdered by their partners or unknown assailants. Following the recent protests against government policy, there are still people missing in the eastern African country who are believed to be victims of abductions - allegedly by police officers.
