Family of Missing Woman Found Dumped at Lang’ata Cemetery Speaks

The family of a 23-year-old girl is still reeling in shock after her body was discovered in a thicket in the Lang’ata Cemetery in another bizarre case of femicide.

According to the family, Nancy Boke Chacha went missing only for her body to be discovered later with evidence suggesting a gruesome series of events before her demise.

Preliminary investigations revealed that Nancy passed away from several stab wounds which were evident on her body.

Further, there were suggestions that the victim was sexually assaulted before she was killed as the family revealed she was half naked when her body was discovered.

Beside her body was her identity card, some of her inner clothes, and a knife believed to be the murder weapon.

“I think she was stabbed because her clothes were completely ripped apart. It also seems like she was sexually assaulted,” one of the distraught family members narrated.

While detectives are yet to establish whether the victim was killed at the cemetery or elsewhere, preliminary investigations suggest Nancy put up a fight against her assailant.

Nancy’s family is currently struggling with a wave of uncertainty about who killed her and the motives behind the killing.

“We don’t know who killed her. I just saw her and she must have died a painful death,” one of the family members added.

Meanwhile, detectives are trying to piece together Nancy’s last moments before she lost her life by retracing her last steps and identifying the last persons to see her alive.

This was the latest harrowing case in what is becoming a worrying trend of persons, especially women, being killed and their bodies dumped.

incidentally, the discovery of Nancy’s body at the Lang’ata cemetery came barely two months after the dismembered parts of another woman were discovered around the same area in November 2024.

Officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) made a breakthrough in the case on November 6 as they linked the victim to a suspect involved in the heinous murder of three women in Eastleigh.

In a shocking turn of events, the officers revealed that Hashim Dagane Muhumed, the primary suspect in the murders of three women from Eastleigh, is now also a person of interest and a suspect in the Lang’ata case.
