A body of an unknown man has been found dumped on a river bed at the Kitengela/Athi River junction along Mombasa Road.
Human Rights activist and Voices Of Community Activists and Leaders of Africa (VOCAL Africa) CEO Hussein Khalid who on Monday, February 3, 2025, visited the scene of the incident, stated that the body appeared to have been dumped on Monday, February 3.
According to Khalid, the body of was of man that appeared to have been in his 30’s.
It had a cut on the leg and appeared like the legs were tied together, signifying the pain the man must have gone through before meeting his death.
The police visited the scene, picked the body and took it to the mortuary for preservation and other processes.
“Our @VOCALAfrica_ team is presently at the Kitengela junction scene where we’ve confirmed a body was dumped a while ago. The body is of a male. Roughly around 30 years of age. It has a cut on the leg and it appears like the legs were tied together. @NPSOfficial_KE, @DCI_Kenya and locals are at the scene. The police have now picked the body for transfer to the morgue,” Khalid stated.
The discovery of the body comes as pressure continues to mount on President William Ruto’s administration to resolve the spate of abductions targeting dissidents.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and CS Muturi separately challenged the police to probe the matter.
They want the security agencies to produce those behind the vice that has been blamed on the Kenya Kwanza administration.
The leaders spoke on the day the bodies of two of the three men who went missing in Mlolongo, were found at City Mortuary in Nairobi.
“This is murder most foul; what has been described is something quite gruesome. It is only fair that at this point in time, the country should shelve all other business they have and discuss this matter of abductions and extrajudicial killings,” Muturi said when he accompanied the victim’s families at City Mortuary.
“When I called the press conference on the 12th of January, I ended by saying that this matter, if left unchecked, will plunge this country into chaos and anarchy and called for a national dialogue and indeed a commission of inquiry to inquire into these gruesome murders.”
