Shock As 9 Bodies Found In Quarry Pit Opposite Kware Police Station [PHOTOS]

UPDATE 7.07 PM: It has now emerged that a woman's vivid dream about her missing sister led to the horrific discovery of a series of bodies in a quarry pit in Mukuru kwa Njenga.

In a chilling turn of events, Moses Baraka, one of the individuals involved in the recovery efforts, revealed that the woman had approached the residents seeking assistance based on her dream which indicated that her sister's body could be at the now cordoned-off site.

"We accompanied her to the location where she believed her sister's body was located, as shown in her dream," Baraka recounted.

Acting on her intuition, Baraka and a group of volunteers then carefully lowered ropes into the quarry, only to be left stunned as they unearthed multiple bodies concealed in sacks.

So far 10 bodies have been recovered at the site, despite varying media reports and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reporting that six bodies, all female, were recovered.

UPDATE: The number of bodies retrieved from a mass grave discovered in Mukuru Kwa Njenga has risen to 10 after the horrific discovery began in the afternoon hours today.

The site of devastation, the Kware dumpsite, revealed a scene of horror as more body bags were sighted, with a handful of police officers present. All ten bodies, found in green sacks, were dismembered and identified as female.

Police were forced to shoot in the air to disperse the mass crowd that had turned into a protest. The group is demanding answers regarding the suspected mass grave.

At least nine bodies have been recovered from a quarry pit in Mukuru Kwa Njenga, sparking huge uproar on social media platforms across the country.

Images seen by Viral Tea and also shared by the Mukuru Community Justice Centre (MCJC) revealed that 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 was quoted by The Standard.

The horrid recovery led by local youths was conducted with remains found in varying conditions, with some bodies reported to be dismembered.

While the MCJC recorded six bodies, some media reports indicated more than eight, with fears of more still in the pit, which is opposite the Kware Police Station at Pipeline, where police have been actively involved in the ongoing retrieval efforts.

Others had visible severe injuries although it wasn’t immediately established if they had bullet wounds owing to the state of the bodies. Despite their presence, the identities of the deceased remain a mystery.

The incident has attracted large crowds with locals milling the area as more police officers arrive. The bodies have been moved to the City mortuary in Nairobi, as the search gets underway.

The lack of information on the matter has raised fears within the local community and intensified rumour mills, with some netizens claiming that the recovery could be linked to the alleged Githurai massacre.

Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident, compelling many to pressure law enforcement for answers.

The shocking discovery comes as alarming claims of abductions linked to anti-Finance Bill protests that have erupted over the past month.

According to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), at least 34 individuals have been abducted by security forces and subjected to torture since mid-June, in connection with the protests. Several others are indicated as being in hiding due to threats on their lives by unknown persons.

At least five remain unaccounted for, further compounding the fears surrounding state actions during this turbulent period.

Activists warn that those who dared to oppose the controversial Finance Bill are now living in a state of anxiety.

Former Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kithure Kindiki had on Tuesday, July 9 vowed to take action against individuals reported to be responsible for the wave of abductions during the recent anti-government protests.

"All persons within the territory of Kenya are protected from unlawful or arbitrary arrests, abductions, enforced disappearances or any other illegal method of confining suspected criminals for purposes of investigations for prosecution or for whatever purpose whatsoever," Kindiki stated in part.

"The Government reiterates its duty to respect and ensure the protection of all constitutionally guaranteed rights and will not condone any violation whether perpetuated by security personnel or by public or private persons."

On Wednesday, June 26, President William Ruto allayed concerns of impromptu arrests and abductions, stating that those who were arrested during the anti-Finance Bill protests were detained at police stations.
