And police in Nairobi have launched investigations after the body of an unidentified man was discovered in the South B area under suspicious circumstances.
The incident was reported on the morning of April 8 at around 8.06 am when a body was found lying along SPS Lane within the Shimo la Tewa area.
Police responded to the scene and confirmed that the deceased was an unknown male adult aged between 30 and 35 years.
According to preliminary observations, the body was found lying face down with the face covered by a jacket. Investigators noted visible stab wounds on the back, believed to have been inflicted by a sharp object.
