In a startling update from the Kware dumpsite in Mukuru slums, Government Pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor has revealed that none of the bodies recovered show signs of bullet injuries, either externally or upon examination. Speaking on Wednesday, Dr. Oduor detailed the findings of the ongoing investigation, highlighting that among the thirteen bodies recovered so far, causes of death vary dramatically. One victim suffered head injuries, while another showed signs of strangulation.
The grim discoveries include body parts—four body bags contained amputated lower limbs, with two right legs and two left legs, alongside a complete body of a female who had sustained a head injury. These findings deepen the mystery surrounding the circumstances leading to the deaths and disposal of these individuals.
Meanwhile, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has strongly condemned the macabre scene at the Kware dumpsite. The bodies, found mutilated and wrapped in sacks and black polythene bags, have stirred national outrage and grief. A suspect linked to the murders of 42 women, with thirteen bodies recovered thus far, has been apprehended by detectives following a confession.
The KNCHR expressed profound sympathy for the affected families while calling for expedited forensic investigations into the incidents. They emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in handling post-mortem examinations and urged relatives of missing persons to undergo DNA testing to aid in identification.
In a broader context, the KNCHR highlighted ongoing human rights abuses amidst anti-finance bill protests across various counties. They reported 50 deaths and 413 injuries, condemning abductions and arbitrary detentions involving 59 missing persons and 682 detainees. The Commission demanded immediate release of those unlawfully held, calling upon law enforcement agencies and oversight bodies to ensure swift investigations and prosecutions to uphold justice and human rights.
As the investigations continue into both the dumpsite atrocities and protest-related incidents, the KNCHR remains vigilant in advocating for justice and transparency, urging governmental support for comprehensive investigations into suspected extrajudicial killings and other involuntary deaths.
