Ms Leah Wambui, wife of the deceased, said she was the one who identified her husband after seeing the clothes he was wearing before he went missing.
"Detectives from Baricho Police station called me and led me to the forest and I was able to identify the remains of my husband, I passed out when I saw his mutilated body. I could not stand the sight of the man I loved so much," she said.
On August 7, Morris Murimi, 24 disappeared from his home in Kagio village in Kirinyaga County. A 40-day search for the missing charcoal trader has, however, ended in horror.
His badly mutilated body has been found buried in a shallow grave deep inside Kiamuguongo forest in Ndia Constituency. More devastating was the manner of the discovery; a dog was feasting on the remains.
