The family of the victims in Nairobi's Eastleigh
area is seeking justice after the three who disappeared on Monday, October
21, were found dead.
The three bodies were found in Bahati,
Parklands, and Machakos, respectively, with similar injuries, police said.
According to the family, the two girls, aged 11
and 22, left home on Monday evening at around 5:30 PM to search for their
mother, who had gone out earlier in the day for skin treatment in Eastleigh but
had not returned home and had not communicated at all.
They said it was unusual for her to be out for
that long.
All indications
are that they were lured to their death.
The family of Amina Abdirashid Dahir and Nusuiba Dahir arrived at the city mortuary to confirm their worst fears.
They found the bodies of the two girls at the mortuary.
The
bodies had been collected from separate scenes in the city.
The two daughters had taken a taxi to their
intended destination to search for their mum.
CCTV footage captured Amina and Nusuiba making a phone call, then a car arrives and they both get in. It was the last time they were seen alive.
When morning broke, the family received the heartbreaking news that their children had been found in Parklands and Bahati areas in the city while their mother’s body was found in the bush in Machakos, killed in a similar manner.
Police say this suggests that one person may be behind the three killings.
A team of detectives is pursuing the matter and intends to talk to close family members as part of the probe.
Nairobi police commander Adamson Bungei said a team of detectives from homicide unit had taken over the probe.
"We are yet to know why this happened but we have our teams on the ground," he said.
The family is demanding speedy investigations into the murders.
Elsewhere in Kisumu, the body of a middle-aged woman, who was a business operator at Otonglo market, was found dumped along the Kisumu-Busia highway after a suspected murder.
Police said the incident happened on Tuesday morning.
Locals said the incident is the third reported case in the area after the bodies of two men were also found in Nyamasaria and Maraba areas in two separate incidents.
The woman seemed to have been killed at the scene by assailants who are yet to be found.
The motive is also yet to be known.
Police said they are investigating the incidents.
