A human head has been found, and police believe it to be that of the late Rita Waeni, a student at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT).
The head was discovered in Kiambaa Dam in Kiambu County on Sunday night.
Pius Mwandhi, the commander of Kiambaa police, confirmed the occurrence to reporters present at the scene and stated that inquiries are still on.
On January 14, a 20-year-old Waeni’s disfigured body with her head gone was discovered in an apartment in Nairobi’s Roysambu area. The victim’s identification could not be immediately verified by the police.
The victim was Waeni, who had gone from her aunt’s home in Syokimau to see a friend, the family would later disclose.
The family released a statement on January 17th, stating that at approximately five in the morning on Sunday, her father got a message from her phone number requesting Ksh. 500,000 to be paid as a ransom within twenty-four hours in order to free the JKUAT student.
The student’s body parts were found inside a trash bag in the flat by the caretaker, who was about to start her fourth year of university.
