Police have launched a murder investigation after the body of an unidentified woman was found stuffed inside a sack and dumped near the Nairobi River in Dagoretti, Nairobi.
The grim discovery was made on Sunday morning in the Kampi Moto area.
Police officers visited the scene and found the body of an unidentified woman believed to be about 25 years old concealed inside a green sack beside the river.
Investigators believe the woman may have been killed elsewhere before her body was transported and dumped at the scene. Police said there were no signs of a struggle or bloodstains in the area, suggesting the murder did not occur at the location where the body was found.
A preliminary examination did not reveal any visible physical injuries on the body, and the exact cause of death will be established through a post-mortem examination.
The scene was documented and processed before the body was moved to Nairobi City Mortuary for preservation and identification.
Police have appealed to anyone with information that could assist in identifying the deceased or the circumstances leading to her death to report to the nearest police station as investigations continue.
