A decomposed body of a boy aged about five was found in Racecourse forest, Nairobi.
The body parts were discovered by a herder who was taking care of his cattle in the area on Sunday evening.
Police were called to the scene and confirmed the parts were of a child aged about five.
The investigators said the body had decomposed beyond recognition and seemed to have been dumped there weeks earlier.
The parts were moved to the mortuary pending autopsy and other investigations.
Elsewhere in Malindi, the headless body of a man was found on the roadside after a suspected murder.
The deceased was identified as Boki Albert Nasibu who has been a beach operator in the area.

A team visited the scene and confirmed unknown assailant had killed the man and his head was missing after the Sunday dawn incident.
The lifeless body was found in the middle of a feeder road and two mobile phones believed to belong to the deceased and slippers were found at the scene.
The body was removed to Malindi General Hospital Mortuary for postmortem examination.
