The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is now seeking an order to hold for 21 days a man arrested with dismembered body in plastic bags.

John Kyama Wambua, 29, was arraigned before the Milimani Law Court today after being arrested in Huruma Estate while carrying a plastic bag which police say was found to contain human body parts.

The DCI in their application said they would need 21 days to allow for further investigations into the horrific crime he is suspected of committing.

Preliminary police reports indicate Wambua was apprehended by officers from the Huruma Police Station on January 20, 2025.
