Police have raised suspicion over graves at the home of an 80-year-old woman, Wambui Muturi, who was killed in Murang’a over a kidnapping incident.
According to authorities, the granny might have killed and buried her victims for failing to pay ransom.
Murang’a County Commissioner John Elungata said that they have received information that there could be a number of people killed and buried at the home.
The woman’s husband and his four children were buried in the compound but Elungata said there could be more graves at the home.
“We have established that the granny has been in the kidnapping game for a long time with a syndicate that could be burying hostages who failed to pay ransom in her homestead but we have commenced probe into the matter,” Mr Elungata said.
He added that police are pursuing two more suspects who escaped during the shootout.
The woman was shot dead in a kidnapping saga investigation.
