DNA tests on the body parts recovered from River Sagana have confirmed that they belong to 32-year-old Lucy Wamaitha, who went missing in January during a work trip.
Police said the DNA samples from the body parts matched that of Wamaitha’s mother Nancy Wambui.
“DNA samples were collected on February 12, and it has been confirmed that it was Lucy’s body parts that were retrieved from River Sagana on January 22.
“It is not even, a whole body as we speak, only half the body, from the waist to the neck, with the hands and legs missing,” Wambui told the media.
The late Wamaitha disappeared on January 17 while on a work assignment in Embu County.
