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.
A total of eight female bodies have been recovered so far from a dumpsite in a Nairobi slum, Kenyan police said Sunday.
The acting Police Chief, Douglas Kanja, said that they are pursuing possible links to cults, serial killers or rogue medical practitioners.
Kanja in a press conference highlighted that they were severely dismembered in different states of decomposition and left in sacks, adding that investigations into the gruesome find are ongoing.
Kanja said the first six corpses were found on Friday and body parts of another two women were found on Saturday.
