Dismembered bodies found at Kenya dump


Police in Kenya say they found five bags filled with the dismembered remains of a number of women at a rubbish dump in the capital Nairobi on Saturday.

Detectives have been scouring the site in the Mukuru slum since Friday, when the corpses of six other women were found in sacks floating in a sea of rubbish.

Officers said the bags recovered on Saturday included severed legs and two torsos, speculating that the deaths could be related to the activities of cultists or serial killers.

But the country's police watchdog said on Friday that it was investigating whether there was any police involvement in the gruesome deaths, which come amid allegations of widespread human rights abuses by officers during recent anti-government protests.
