The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is holding a woman who took the body of her 10-year-old cousin to City Mortuary after she was allegedly tortured to death at her aunt’s house in Nairobi. Jackline Mumuli is detained at Pangani police station pending investigations into the death of Janet Nambia. She was arrested at the morgue on December 24 after presenting the body claiming the deceased died of illness. “Her last access was in Western at a place called Ndalu where she switched off her phone,” Ibrahim states in an affidavit filed at the court. Ibrahim said preliminary investigations indicate the motive of the act is suspected to have been a severe corporal punishment subjected to the deceased.
