Cornelius Wamalwa, a Nairobi regional administrator, said residents found the woman’s naked body dumped in a farm in the outskirts of the capital city.
“We have examined the body and established that she was stabbed on the neck, stomach and her genitals and cut out. It is a bizarre incident,” Wamalwa said.
The woman was last seen leaving a bar late Wednesday in the company of her boyfriend and other men, Wamalwa explained.
“Nobody knows where they went after that but there was a commotion heard in her boyfriend’s house,” he added. “Detectives are looking for the boyfriend and the men who were seen last with her.”
On Tuesday, police were investigating reports that a body in Nairobi’s main mortuary was missing eyes and ears in what morgue attendants blamed on rats.
Tuesday’s incident came after two men were arrested trying to sell male genitals they had allegedly chopped off a body at the Nairobi City Mortuary.
“We have not linked this incident to what happened at the mortuaries lately, but we will establish the truth once the investigations are completed,” Wamlwa said.
Although belief in witchraft is widespread in Kenya, the recent cases of amputating dead bodies marked a new trend.
