As detectives are investigating the murder of a 24-year-old girl whose body was Sunday found stuffed in a paper bag off Thika Road, Nairobi, new details of events preceding the incident have emerged.
The woman was stabbed and chopped to death in an apartment along TRM Drive, Thika Road, police said.
Police said they are yet to know the motive of the incident which happened at an apartment along Thika Road.
The suspect whose identity has not yet been revealed had on Saturday booked the room and walked in with the deceased woman, a caretaker at the apartment has revealed.
The caretaker said come Sunday morning, the suspect left alone and returned the key to the receptionist.
The caretaker went to check on the house and found some blood traces leading to the room. Therein, he said the house was empty and the female occupant who had come with the man was missing.
He said he followed the blood stain traces which led him to a dustbin collection point where he and other neighbors discovered remains of a person which prompted her to call the police.
The body had been dismembered and put in a polythene paper.
Police said the woman had been chopped into pieces and the body stuffed into a paper.
The killer later disposed the body at the dustbin and left. CCTV footage of the incident showed a man in a black jeans, black jumper, navy blue shirt, specks and white cap booking the one roomed house above a supermarket.
Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei said they are looking for the suspect behind the murder.
