Two more bodies were Sunday retrieved from the Kaware dump site in Mukuru Kwa Njenga area, Nairobi.
Chaos were also witnessed as one person was wounded as police dispersed a crowd that had gathered there.
A second victim, a woman was also injured.
At the same time, Azimio leader Raila Odinga and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna visited the dumpsite in Kware as residents protested against the killings being reported in the country.
They urged the locals to cooperate with the police and let the process go on well.
On Sunday, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja appealed for calm from Kware residents in Mukuru Kwa Njenga even as the retrieval of bodies continued.
Sakaja also called for restraint from the police.
"Regrettably, we have witnessed instances of altercations between the residents and government officials, which have hampered rescue efforts after police lobbed tear gas into the crowd," he said.
"We urge the DCI to avail all resources in investigating the circumstances behind these heinous deaths. Kenyans want answers and need to feel safe always."
Sakaja assured residents that the county is committed to offering the necessary support to the deceased's families and the residents of Kware Ward.
"In as much as this is a homicide matter and a police case, we are working closely with the National Police and other relevant authorities during the investigations and identification of the deceased," Sakaja said.
"I urge the community to remain patient and supportive as authorities work tirelessly to bring closure to this tragic situation."
The county government also confirmed that the City Mortuary has received eight bodies and twelve body parts from Kware in Mukuru slums.
Sakaja said the bodies had been received even as retrieval efforts continued.
"The tragic discovery has sent shockwaves in Nairobi," he said.
"We have so far received eight bodies and 12 body parts."
On Saturday, five more bodies were retrieved from the Kware dumpsite in Mukuru Kwa Njenga.
They were all tied in sacks similarly.
Detectives from the Homicide Unit at DCI headquarters oversaw the exercise as they pleaded for patience to unravel the truth.
Police said they are investigating the deaths and dumping of the bodies at the site which was a quarry and was now being used as a dumpsite.
The search was slow as the teams were using locals by lowering them using ropes to fetch the bodies.
One boat was brought to the scene to help in the search and recovery mission.
The mystery of the mutilated bodies found at Mukuru kwa Njenga slums in Nairobi continued to unravel as more sacks of polythene bags were still being retrieved on the second day.
