The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has confirmed that six bodies have been retrieved from an abandoned quarry in Kware.
The DCI said that all six bodies were females and had been killed in the same mode.
In a statement, the Director of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin, said the bodies were severely mutilated and were in various stages of decomposition.
"Earlier today at approximately 1100hrs, the Embakasi Division Police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) responded to an urgent call from the public in the Villa area of Mukuru kwa Njenga," Amin said.
"The alarm was raised following the discovery of six severely mutilated bodies, all female, in various stages of decomposition."
He said the bodies were wrapped in nylon papers and reinforced with nylon ropes.
The discovery was made at an abandoned quarry, currently filled with water and used as a dump site.
Amin added that the Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) personnel from Embakasi quickly arrived at the scene, retrieving the bodies and documenting the area.
The bodies have been transported to the Nairobi Funeral Home (City Mortuary) to await postmortem.
"Homicide detectives and officers from the Forensics Division of the DCI are currently analysing samples to identify the bodies," he added.
The area has been cordoned off and designated as a crime scene as the investigation continues.
Amin called on Kenyans to cooperate with the authorities as investigations continue as probe continues.
