Frank Obegi, a Twitter influencer and three of his friends are among those who were found murdered and their body parts chopped off in Kijabe Forest, Kiambu County.
The influencer is among four mutual friends who went missing a week ago in Nairobi's Kasarani area. A fourth body connected to the three is said to have been found in Magadi, Kajiado County.
Lari OCPD Anderson Furaha told Nation that the three bodies were badly mutilated and it seems they were killed through strangulation and had their private parts amputated.
"One of them had been partly eaten by wild animals. Their private parts had been amputated and it seems they died through strangulation. They had no identification documents and were naked," Furaha said.
It since has emerged that Frank Obegi and three of his friends could be among the three unidentified bodies that residents of Lari stumbled upon in Kiambu on Sunday.
Twitter users, on Monday evening, identified the four as Obegi, his friend Mike, Eli, and an unidentified victim. The bodies are currently preserved at the City mortuary in Nairobi.
It is alleged that the four disappeared between Monday and Wednesday last week from Kasarani, Nairobi County before the gruesome discovery was made.
