Second Mass Grave Discovered In Kitengela

The secret grave was discovered by a herdsman just 500 meters from the first grave where bodies are currently being exhumed.

Chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor is leading the team of government officials who are exhuming the bodies.

Area residents have linked the secret mass graves to a land dispute pitting factions within the outlawed mungiki sect in Kitengela.

Kajiado county commissioner Albert Kobia has revealed that the bizarre murders resulted from an ongoing land dispute at Noon-Kopir area.

Kobia is blaming illegal land brokers for defrauding people into purchasing land in the area, leading to such deadly rows.

The 5,000 acres of land and another 10,000 within Kitengela Township are at the centre of deadly retaliatory attacks.

The land is said to belong to a cement manufacturing company.

The county commissioner has criticized the management of the factory for allegedly contributing to the crisis due to their inaction

The county authorities have vowed to bring to book all the cartels in Kajiado County, who are illegally dealing in land and are being blamied for the mystery killings.
