Moses Baraka who resides in the area and was involved in the recovery efforts recounted that the woman approached him for assistance after her chilling dream which indicated her sister's body might be at the site.
Both President William Ruto and his Deputy Rigathi Gachagua are yet to comment on the chilling discovery even as pressure mounts on government agencies to unearth the truth.
Six severely mutilated bodies were discovered at an abandoned quarry, currently filled with water and used as a dumpsite in Mukuru kwa Njenga, Embakasi Division.
The bodies, all female, were found in various stages of decomposition, wrapped in nylon papers and reinforced with nylon ropes.
Initial reports indicate that all the victims met their deaths in a similar way with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations taking over the matter.
