Kenya: Witchdoctor held for beheading woman


A man is being held for the murder of an 18 year old woman at Kawangware area of Nairobi after he surrendered to authorities at the Muthangari police station.

Geoffrey Machui reportedly killed the woman only identified as Mweni whose mutilated remains were found Sunday in his rented house in Kawangware’s Gatina area.

Witnesses said Machui, the practicing witchdoctor, returned home in the company of the woman on Saturday night. However neighbours said they did not hear any commotion in the house till morning when they made the grisly find.

“We saw them together going into his house, many people come for consultation as he is a witch doctor, we did not bother as we thought it was one of his clients,” a Phoebe Ateyo said.
The witness said a child told them the woman had been killed after peeping through an opening in the iron sheet walled house and saw her headless body lying in a pool of blood.

Decapitated
Police found the decapitated human head inside a basket, the remaining torso sprawled on the floor and intestines that had been ripped off from the woman’s stomach next to her body.
Parts of a human heart were also found at the scene.

Police took photographs of assorted paraphernalia including gourds, calabashes, bottles containing concoctions, a toy snake and a live chicken inside his rented house.
