Detectives in Kirinyaga County are currently investigating a disturbing incident that has shaken the community. The lifeless body of a middle-aged woman was discovered near rice farms at Cumbiri, situated along the Mutithi-Kandongu-Kagio road in Mwea-West Sub-County. The tragic discovery was made by rice workers who were on their way to tend to the crops in the early hours of the morning.
The residents of Mutithi Ward, where the grim discovery took place, were left in shock by the gruesome scene. The victim, a 50-year-old woman, was found naked, adding to the mystery and horror of the situation. Local residents, including Irungu Kubatha and Susan Wambui, expressed their concerns to the authorities, speculating that the woman may have been murdered elsewhere before her body was callously dumped at the site.
James Maina, a member of the community, voiced his disbelief at the heinous crime, questioning why someone would commit such a brutal act against a seemingly innocent individual. Susan Wambui echoed these sentiments, highlighting that the victim was not known to the locals, further indicating that she may have been brought to the location to conceal the crime.
Kirinyaga police commander Andrew Naibei confirmed the tragic incident, revealing that the victim’s body had been transferred to Kerugoya Level Four Hospital Mortuary for further examination through a postmortem procedure. As the investigation unfolds, residents are calling for increased security measures in the area, citing a previous incident just two weeks prior where another woman’s body was discovered under similar circumstances along the Mwea-West Sub-County roads.
The earlier victim, identified as a blogger from Tharaka Nithi County, was found murdered at Rukanga along the Makutano-Sagana Road, sparking fears of a potential serial killer targeting vulnerable individuals in the region. In response to these chilling events, authorities have pledged to bolster security measures by intensifying nighttime patrols along the busy highway while diligently pursuing leads to apprehend the perpetrators responsible for these senseless acts of violence.
As the community mourns the loss of these innocent lives, the quest for justice and safety remains paramount in the minds of residents and law enforcement officials alike. The identification process for the latest victim is currently underway, as the investigation into these tragic events continues to unfold..
