Investigators handling a case where a badly mutilated human body was found dumped near the Lang’ata Cemetery in Nairobi have made a breakthrough.
The mutilated body was found dumped at the cemetery on October 31, 2024, with detectives now linking the murder to Hashim Dagane Muhumed, the prime suspect in the tragic murders of a mother, her daughter, and her 12-year-old niece in Eastleigh, Nairobi.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) says that during the course of their probe, and following on crucial exhibits recovered at the scene, its detectives went to an unnamed Quickmart Supermarket within Nairobi.
At this retail shop, the detectives established that the victim of the murder most foul was a lady who was captured by CCTV cameras while shopping on October 29, 2024.
While piecing together the last moments of the lady, the sleuths further established that once done with her shopping, she proceeded to an apartment in Lavington area, where she was yet again captured by the CCTV cameras while entering the said premises.
“Armed with crucial leads, the detectives have established that the lady was in the company of Hashim Dagane, who was residing in the said apartment where the duo spent time before Dagane was on October 31, 2024 captured leaving the apartment carrying two bags suspected to have contained the remains of the victim that were later in the day discovered at Langata Cemetery,” the DCI reports.
Sources close to the investigations say that it has also been verified that after Dagane left the apartment, the owner discovered what had happened in his premises, went ahead and cleared the mess, had the rooms re-painted and thereafter went under. “He is being sought, and it is just a matter of time before he is smoked out of his hideout to face relevant charges,” DCI adds.
Preliminary investigations have also revealed that the the woman in question could be one Deka Abdinoor Gorone, who was reported missing at California Police Station on October 24, 2024. The remains are being subjected to forensic analysis to ascertain the identity of the victim.
