Man caught with cannabis claims he uses it to get through trauma of seeing mutilated bodies

A Dandora garbage collector recently pleaded guilty to the possession of marijuana, attributing his use of the substance to coping with the traumatic memories of encountering mutilated human body parts, including heads and hands, during his work at the dump site.

Shadrack Omondi admitted to the offence of having 17 rolls of cannabis sativa valued at Sh1,700. He was found at Dandora Phase 5 on November 3, accompanied by accomplices who have since faced charges.
