Police Hunt for Thika Road Killer
The police are on the trail of a suspected hired killer who brutally murdered and dismembered a 24-year-old woman in Nairobi. The victim’s body parts were found stuffed in a paper bag off Thika Road on Monday morning, sparking public outrage and horror.
According to the police, the killer used a hacksaw to cut off the woman’s limbs and torso, leaving behind only her head, which is still missing. The police believe the killer may have taken the head as a proof of his gruesome deed to his employers, who are yet to be identified.
The motive behind the macabre murder is still unclear, but the police suspect it could be linked to a criminal syndicate or a personal vendetta. The police have also not ruled out the possibility of ritual killing, as some body parts were found with signs of mutilation.
The police have launched a manhunt for the killer, who is believed to be armed and dangerous. They have also appealed to the public to provide any information that could lead to his arrest and the recovery of the missing head.
The victim, who has been identified as Mary Wanjiku, was a student at a local college and a resident of Kasarani. Her family and friends have described her as a cheerful and hardworking person who had no enemies. They have demanded justice for her and urged the police to speed up the investigation.
The murder has shocked and angered many Kenyans, who have condemned the brutality and called for the protection of women’s rights and safety. Some have also questioned the security situation in the city, especially along Thika Road, where several cases of crime and violence have been reported in the past.
The police have assured the public that they are doing everything possible to bring the killer to book and restore law and order in the area. They have also urged the public to remain calm and vigilant, and to report any suspicious activities or persons to the nearest police station.
