The woman’s body also had a deep cut on her left breast and a message written in ink on her chest, both of her thighs and palms.

“Bwana ya mtu ni sumu” which loosely translates into “Someone’s husband is poisonous” was the chilling message left by her would-be killers.

Migarusha said it was likely the woman was killed somewhere else before her body was dumped outside the GSU recce squad camp.

Police are however yet to identify who the lady is.

The deceased’s body was transferred to the Nairobi City Mortuary as police began investigations into her murder.
