Residents of Mashamba area in Borabu Nyamira County are living in fear after a mutilated body of a 40-year-old woman was found dumped in a tea farm on Friday evening.
Confirming the incident Borabu OCPD Timothy Mwasia said tea pickers who were picking tea at the farm recovered the body of the deceased and informed authorities.
"The mutilated body was found dumped inside the busy tea farm. The deceased identity is yet to be revealed because residents said she doesn't hail from the area," he said.
