Another body that was found dumped at the Nguni Forest in Kijabe, Kiambu County has been positively identified as belonging to Joseph Njau Ng'endo who was aspiring to be an MCA in Kasarani in Nairobi County. 

Upon discovery by the police, his body was taken to the City Mortuary and was preserved from Sunday awaiting identification.

“The body was brought by a police vehicle on Sunday and booked as unidentified. It has since been positively identified by the family who had reported him missing two days before,” said morgue superintendent Patrick Kibugi.

The body bore strangulation marks all over and was in bad shape, making it difficult to establish who he was, and police were compelled to identify him through fingerprints.

Ng'endo's is the fifth body recovered dumped in various forests in Lari in Kiambu County and Kiserian in Kajiado County. The other four were identified as belonging to Moses Amenya Nyachae, Elijah Omeka, Frank Obegi and Fredrick Obare Mokaya.

Lari OCPD Anderson Furaha revealed that the three bodies were badly mutilated and it seems they were killed through strangulation and had their private parts amputated.

Three of them disappeared between Monday and Wednesday last week from Kasarani , and Obare made his way to the Kasarani Police Station to report of their disappearance of his friend Omeka after being informed of the same by his wife, only for him to disappear too on Thursday, June 17.

“My brother disappeared after he turned up at Kasarani Police Station to record a statement over his friend Omeka's disappearance. His phone was switched off at 2pm and that is the last time we heard from him until Monday when police informed us that his body had been found at City Mortuary,” Finley Mokaya, his brother stated.

Before they disappeared , they all led a lavish lifestyle but the source of their riches could not be explained.
