The body of a middle-aged woman was found dumped along the Naivasha-Gilgil railway line.
The body which had visible injuries on the head and neck was found a few kilometers from the town by members of the public who in turn informed the police.
The woman who was identified as Amina Jere is feared to have been sexually abused before she was murdered.
Area OCPD Emmanuel Opuru confirmed the incident adding that no arrest had been made though police were making headway into the murder.
“The naked body was found dumped along the railway line and we have launched investigations following the incident,” he said.
Sakina Mohammed expressed concerns over rising cases of murder in the town.
"Last week another woman was murdered near Highway Estate and the body doused with chemicals and we are asking police to arrest these killers,” she said.
