A chilling discovery of nine mutilated female bodies in a Nairobi rubbish dump has sent shockwaves across Kenya, with police confirming the arrest of a prime suspect believed to be a serial killer. The grim find has left the nation reeling, with authorities working tirelessly to unravel the mystery behind the gruesome murders.
According to officials, a joint operation by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and the National Police Service led to the arrest of a 33-year-old suspect in the early hours of Monday morning. The suspect, who was apprehended near a bar, is suspected of being a psychopathic serial killer with no regard for human life.
Since Friday, eight dismembered female bodies had been recovered from the rubbish heap in Mukuru slum, all of which were women. However, police have since confirmed that nine bodies have now been found, sparking widespread outrage and fear among residents.

As police work to carry out autopsies on the victims, the nation is bracing for more information about the motive behind the heinous crimes. The arrest of the prime suspect is seen as a major breakthrough in the investigation, with authorities vowing to bring the perpetrator to justice.
The discovery has also raised concerns about the lack of safety and security in Nairobi’s slums, where residents are calling for greater protection from the authorities. As tensions run high, police are working to maintain order and restore calm to the community.
