Human Rights Watch urged Kenya on Monday to conclude an investigation into mutilated bodies found in a quarry last year, and address claims that police blocked recovery efforts.

There was shock and disgust last July in the east African country when 10 butchered female corpses, and other unidentified body parts, were recovered, mostly by volunteers, from an abandoned quarry in the Mukuru slum in the capital Nairobi.
