Upon arriving at the scene, he made a horrifying discovery, a woman’s body, chopped up and stuffed inside a sack.

“When I arrived and entered the quarry, I found a woman’s body chopped into pieces and stuffed in a sack,” said Wambua.

Undeterred by the grisly sight, Wambua continued his search, uncovering more sacks containing dismembered body parts.
