Detectives in Murang’a have revealed shocking details in the case of a woman whose body was transported as a parcel and later discovered at Kangari Police Station.
Investigations established that a taxi driver who operates between Makomboki market and Kangari town was paid five hundred shillings to ferry what he believed was ordinary luggage.
The driver reported that he was approached by a man who instructed him to deliver the parcel to an alleged contact in Kangari town.
Upon reaching the location, the driver failed to find the intended recipient and decided to take the parcel to Kangari Police Station for safekeeping.
Officers who attempted to offload the package grew suspicious of its unusual weight and foul smell.
When it was opened, the parcel was found to contain the body of a woman wrapped in layers of blankets and clothing.
The deceased was later identified as Hannah Wanjiku, a fifty-three-year-old mother of six from Kamukabi village.
Relatives said she had previously fled her matrimonial home due to domestic violence and had been living in a rented house while working in nearby tea plantations.
Police have since arrested four suspects, including the victim’s estranged husband, two of her sons, and the taxi driver who transported the body.
The body was moved to Githumu Hospital mortuary for postmortem as detectives pursue further evidence.
DCI officers confirmed that forensic analysis will determine the cause of death and identify individuals linked to the killing.
The investigation is ongoing as the family of the deceased demands justice for what has been described as a brutal and calculated crime.
