The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has stated that five more nylon bags were retrieved from the quarry in Mukuru slums on Saturday.
The Directorate said three of the bags contained female body parts as follows: the first bag had two legs from the knee downwards, the second bag contained two body parts, one from the neck to the waist and another from the head to the waist, and the third bag contained a lower limb from the thigh to the knee.
"For the other two bags, one contained a dog carcass while the other was full of garbage," DCI said.
DCI assured the public that its investigations will be thorough and shall cover a wide range of areas, including but not limited to the possible activities of cultists and serial killing.
The DCI appealed to the public to remain calm and give the detectives a chance to deliver justice to the victims.
"Moments ago, a select team of our homicide detectives and forensic experts based at the National Forensic Laboratory, whose role is very crucial in evidence gathering before the scene is tampered with, were impeded by agitated members of the public from accessing the scene," the Directorate said.
"In full understanding of the emotive nature of these developments, we urge our fellow Kenyans to allow us to handle this scene to give closure to the families and bring to book any culpable persons. "
DCI invited the families, all interested parties, the Law Society of Kenya, civil society organizations and human rights activists to participate in the postmortem exercise to ensure that the investigations are carried out most transparently and openly.
