Detectives in Kiambu are investigating the death of a 58-year-old man whose body was found wrapped in a polythene bag and dumped in Kieni Forest, Gatundu North, on Wednesday evening.
George Mwangi Kamau, was the husband of former Kiambu Woman Representative candidate Gladys Chania.
Police believe the man was killed elsewhere and dumped near the wildlife-infested forest. The body was wrapped in black polythene and stuffed in a bag, from which blood oozed.
Mwangi’s body was identified by Chania at the General Kago Mortuary in Thika days after she reported him missing.
He went missing on Sunday, October 9 prompting the wife to report the case at Mwea and Gachege police posts in Gatundu North on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
By last evening, police had arrested one person, a woman who is helping them with investigations.
Richard Mwaura, the Kiambu county DCI boss, said the case has been taken over by his county team in collaboration with homicide and forensic experts from police headquarters.
Kamau was the owner of Double M International, Kigali, Rwanda, and Preyan Enterprises.
