Body of woman dumped in forest

A mutilated body of a middle-aged woman was yesterday morning found dumped in Kaimosi forest, Hamisi constituency, Vihiga County.

The body had serious injuries inflicted by crude weapons, some of which were found at the scene.

According to Mulundu Assistant Chief Pius Konzalo, the woman could have been killed elsewhere and her body dumped in the forest.

"The scene does not indicate that there was any tussle - pointing to the possibility that the crime may have been committed elsewhere," said Mr Konzalo.

A panga and a knife that were stained with blood were found besides the body.

The body was taken to Vihiga Hospital Mortuary in Mbale to await identification and post-mortem examination.
