The mutilated body of a 27-year-old was on Thursday evening recovered in Kakutha, Kathiani sub-county of Machakos County.
Ngoleni assistant chief Jackline Mutunga confirmed the incident. She said that dogs were found feasting on the body by a passerby who notified her.
"I was called by a bodaboda operator who told me they have seen a person's head being eaten by a dog. Another family just a few meters from the incident were complaining of a foul smell from a nearby bush," said Mrs Mutunga.
"That's where the rest of the body parts were found, only skeletons the flesh had either decomposed or eaten by dogs," she added.
She said the body belongs to a 27-year-old man from Wathia village who was believed to have gone back to work in Nairobi. She said no one knows the cause of death of the man as the body seemed to be tied to a tree with a hem of a cloth.
"The mother came to the scene and on seeing the clothes screamed. She said the son had gone to sleep on the 2nd of July promising to return to work very early the next morning," she said.
She said that Kathiani police arrived at the scene and took the remains to Kathiani mortuary as investigations to unravel the mystery begin.
