During a TikTok Live session, individuals at the Kware dumpsite claim that some bodies remain in the hole, and those responsible for their retrieval have declined to do so unless they receive payment.
According to reports from the villagers, police officers had strung over 20 bodies and dumped them.
“The suspected police strangled some of the bodies found at the Kware dumpsite using barbed wire.”
“Such painful deaths. Indeed, the brutality of our police is evident,” according to sources.
Police were forced to open fire to disperse crowds that had gathered around the Kware police station in protest after at least nine bodies were reportedly retrieved from a dumpsite in the area.
Local youths retrieved at least nine bodies from a quarry pit near Kware Police Station, Mukuru, in Nairobi, and police moved the bodies to a mortuary.
Youths are retrieving bodies from the quarry pit opposite the Kware police station. Police officers from neighbouring stations were present at the scene, actively seeking to retrieve more bodies. So far, the police have retrieved six bodies in sacks, chopped into pieces.
Total bodies retrieved from the Kware dumpsite totaled 15. More bodies are yet to be recovered.
