The discovery of the body of 34-year-old banker Florence Mueni Mwalimu with horrific injuries in a maize plantation in Nakuru was a shocking incident.
Mueni was an employee at the Cooperative Bank Nakuru Branch.
Friends last saw her alive on the morning of August 6, after she left work early to care for her sick child.
The next day, investigators discovered her mutilated body, missing ears and a right thumb.
Pathologists confirmed that Mueni was alive at the time of her ear amputation.
Investigators are wrestling with questions about the motive behind the heinous crime and the purpose of the missing body parts.
The murder scene revealed that the body had likely been transported there after the killing, as there were no bloodstains at the location.
Police suspect that illegal activities related to her work at the bank led to the removal of her thumb.
