A man identified as John Kiama Wambua has been arrested by the Kenyan police after he was caught carrying body parts of his 19-year-old wife.
Police officers patrolling the Huruma area in east Nairobi, came across the 29 years-old man just before dawn. Suspecting Wambua was carrying something illegal; they searched his backpack and “to their shock” found the body parts, said a statement from Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
After police officers interrogated Mr Wambua, he told them that the body parts belonged to his wife, Joy Fridah Munani, according to the DCI statement.
He appeared “unperturbed” by the officers’ discovery, it said.
After the interrogation, Mr Wambua led the officers to his home, where they discovered a knife, blood-soaked clothes and more body parts under a bed.
The DCI described the act as “heinous”, adding that the suspect will be formally charged with murder during an upcoming court hearing. BBC
