Authorities have launched investigations following the discovery of a woman's body concealed inside a sack near the Nairobi River in Dagoretti.
The body, believed to be of a woman around 25 years old, was found on Sunday morning in the Kampi Moto area. Police officers who responded to the scene located the deceased inside a green sack beside the riverbank.
Preliminary observations revealed no visible signs of violence or blood at the location, suggesting the possibility that the victim may have been killed elsewhere before her body was dumped near the river. A post-mortem examination is scheduled to determine the exact cause of death.
The scene was carefully documented and processed before the body was transported to Nairobi City Mortuary for preservation and identification.
Police have appealed to the public to provide any information that could assist in identifying the woman or clarifying the circumstances surrounding her death. Members of the public are urged to report to the nearest police station.
