Kiambaa Sub County Police Commander Pius Mwanthi has revealed how Rita Waeni’s Killer tried to conceal her head that was found in Kiambaa dam within Kiambu County on Sunday.
According to the police report, Rita Waeni’s killer tried to use a stone to try and submerge the head and her belongings into the dam, a trick that failed since the head was found floating in the dam.
This report comes a day after detectives tracked Rita Waeni’s Missing Head to Kiambu County where they collected the head from a dam where it had been dumped by her killers who are yet to be identified.

“Upon arrival at the scene, they were able to retrieve the head, Further investigations at the scene showed that it was a human head that belonged to a female.”
Police officers believe that the killer might have used the stone to envelop the victim’s head, intending to ensure its submersion in the water. However, the exact size of the stone is yet to be known since the discovery of Rita Waeni’s head.
According to the police officers at the scene, the head was decomposing when detectives found it but has since been taken to Nairobi City mortuary for further analysis.
“It was decomposing. It was wrapped in a purple blouse and with it, we also found a stone. We believe that it was there so that it could sink. It was taken to the city mortuary for further analysis.”

Residents who spoke to the press said that they are not surprised at the discovery since it’s not the first time such an incident or dumped bodies are retrieved from the dam.
“This dam does not have enough security because it lacks a fence. There are people who even come to swim here. That needs to be addressed by the government.”
Government Chief Pathologist Johansen Oduor issued a statement on Friday saying he has never seen such a brutal murder before saying the killer attempted to clip off her nails to prevent the police from discovering their DNA.
