Police on Friday violently dispersed a group of protesters who had blocked Mwiki-Kasarani Road to protest the brutal murder of a woman aged 18.
The badly mutilated body of the woman was found in their house in Thursday hours after her murder.
Detectives are investigating the murder.
Police said the deceased identified as Abigael Winner Wanjiku was brutally murdered by unknown people in her mother’s house on Thursday June 19.
The body was found lying naked in a pool of blood after the murder. She is believed to have been assaulted.
Her skull was broken on the forehead, police said.
The body had five stab wounds in the stomach, a cut in the neck and reat ear.
Police recovered a knife that is believed to have been used in the murder. A pan used to hit her in the head was found in the house.
