Friday, September 26, 2025 - Police in Kigumo, Murang’a County, are investigating a gruesome murder after a woman’s body was discovered wrapped in blankets and stuffed inside a bag that was handed to a taxi driver as a parcel.

The chilling incident occurred on Wednesday, September 24^th, and has left residents in shock.

According to Kigumo Deputy Police Commander, Hassan Bashir, four individuals have been arrested in connection with the crime.

Among them are the woman’s husband, her two sons and the taxi driver who unknowingly transported the body.

The driver, who operates between Makombiki and Kangari town, was flagged down by a man who requested him to deliver a parcel to a specific location in Kangari.

The man paid for the service and helped load the heavy bag into the vehicle.

Upon reaching the drop-off point, the driver found no one waiting and, after a long wait, decided to take the parcel to Kangari Police Station.

Officers opened the bag and were horrified to find a human body wrapped in polythene and clothing.

Police launched immediate investigations, leading to the arrest of the four suspects.

Bashir urged anyone with information to come forward, assuring residents that detectives are working tirelessly to uncover the full story.

“We will leave no stone unturned. Anyone involved in this murder will be arrested and charged,” Bashir stated.
