Missing taxi driver’s badly mutilated body found near Gilgil town, car still missing

A four-day search for a missing taxi driver in Naivasha ended on a sour note after his badly mutilated body was found dumped near Gilgil town.

The body of Isaac Thumbi Njuguna was found in a thicket two kilometres from the town.

His car, which he recently acquired and had been using around Naivasha town, is still missing.

His body was partially eaten by wild animals and had injuries inflicted with blunt objects.

Njuguna went missing on Tuesday last week after he was hired by unknown people to ferry them to Gilgil.

Gilgil OCPD John Ondit said police were informed by the public about a body that  was lying off the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

He said they recovered some identification documents and traced his home area in Naivasha.

“Our counterparts from Naivasha have taken over the case and we suspect that the deceased was murdered elsewhere before the body was dumped in Gilgil,” he said.
