Police have launched a manhunt for the killer(s) behind the alleged brutal murder of a 13-year-old boy in Kamulu, Nairobi.

This is after the boy's body was discovered in a thicket with stab wounds four days after he was reported missing.

The boy was found dumped just 200 meters from his grandmother's home after he had last been seen in an estate in Kamulu wearing his school uniform.

He had disappeared on his way home from school.
