The remains of Martin Mwau, the second of three men who vanished in Mlolongo last December, have been discovered at the Nairobi Funeral Home, previously known as City Mortuary.
This revelation follows the identification of Justus Mutumwa’s body at the same location.
Mutumwa had disappeared on December 16, 2024, alongside Mwau and Karani Muema. For over a month, their families have been desperately seeking answers about their sudden disappearance.
According to Mutumwa’s relatives, his body was retrieved from Ruai and transported to the mortuary on December 18, just two days after he went missing. However, the details surrounding the recovery of Mwau’s body before its arrival at the facility remain unclear.
The finding of Mwau’s body intensifies the concerns regarding the circumstances of the trio’s disappearance and subsequent deaths. Their case has faced repeated denials from high-ranking police officials about their knowledge of the situation.
After failing to respond to several court summons, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Mohammed Amin finally appeared in court on Thursday, where they claimed ignorance regarding the missing men’s fates. Amin mentioned that the investigation is still ongoing.
With two of the three missing men now confirmed deceased, there is increasing pressure on authorities to deliver answers and seek justice for the victims and their grieving families. The fate of Karani Muema remains uncertain.
