Another cult killing suspected

Police in Kenya have found dismembered bodies of 'at least seven' women in a rubbish dump in a case that has horrified and angered the country. The Daily Mail reports that the authorities are now investigating if the discoveries are linked to 'cultists and serial killings' due to the gruesome nature of the findings in the Nairobi slum of Mukuru. Police reported finding bodies of at least six women, while the state-funded police watchdog said nine bodies had been found, seven of them women. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is now investigating if the discoveries are linked to 'cultists and serial killings'. The discoveries come after Kenya was left reeling last year by the discovery of mass graves in a forest near the Indian Ocean coast containing the bodies of hundreds of followers of a doomsday sect, one of the world's worst cult-related massacres.
