Shock as six bodies retrieved from Kware dumpsite in Nairobi

At least six bodies have been retrieved from the Kware dumpsite near Mukuru Kwa Njenga, Nairobi.

According to images seen by The Standard, the bodies were well-wrapped in sacks and black polythene bags and later tied with ropes.

“We have managed to retrieve nine bodies so far but we can still see more others in the quarry. They are all young adults,” a Haki Africa activist, Fredrick Onjiro, told The Standard on the phone.

Some of the bodies had visible severe injuries although it wasn’t immediately established if they had bullet wounds owing to the state of the bodies.
