KENYA’S police watchdog said on Saturday that it is investigating whether there was any police involvement after nine badly mutilated bodies were discovered in an abandoned quarry in Mukuru, near Nairobi.
The Independent Policing Oversight Authority said the nine bodies had been found less than 100 yards from Kware police station, south of the Kenyan capital.
In a statement, the watchdog said: “The bodies, wrapped in bags and secured by nylon ropes, had visible marks of torture and mutilation.”
