Residents of Kisii Estate in Thika woke up to a rude shock after a body of a middle aged man was found dumped in the area on Monday morning.
Witnesses said the body of the man who is yet to be identified was naked with physical injuries.
"The deceased body was naked with physical injuries all over the body. We suspect he might have been killed elsewhere before his body was dumped here," said Eric Mogere, a resident.
Area Nyumba Kumi Chaiman Edgar Mochere said they have notified the police to collect the body from the scene.
"We have alerted the police who are yet to come and collect the body to take to it to a morgue. Residents should keep calm as police will investigate the matter and give further details," said Mochere.
He raised alarm over increased number of criminals terrorizing residents.
"This case might be a stoned-to-death one because the deceased body has injuries all over the body. He could have been stoned by an angry mob. Youths terrorizing residents should stop or they will be arrested and prosecuted," he said.
He also called on members of the public to stop taking the law into their hands.
