Kware youth who were retrieving bodies from dumpsite decry harassment by DCI

 


A section of youth who formed part of the search mission personnel at the Kware dumpsite where multiple mutilated bodies have been found now claim they’re under intense intimidation and threats from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives.

The youth, who were involved in retrieving the body parts at the Kware quarry, say they have been living in fear following constant calls with strange numbers by people they strongly believe are State operatives.

The youth, who were involved in retrieving the body parts at the Kware quarry, say they have been living in fear following constant calls with strange numbers by people they strongly believe are State operatives.

The volunteer search party said the officials have even arrested some of their members as part of an intimidation scheme, while telling them to stay away from where bodies were being retrieved two months ago.


Speaking at the Mukuru Community Justice Centre offices in Nairobi, flanked by several human rights activists on Friday, they’re now demanding for the resumption of the retrieval exercise as they claim the move to send them packing from the dumpsite is a ploy to conceal more body parts still inside the quarry.
