“We were shocked to find donkey heads, several carcasses, and graves in this homestead. We believe the perpetrators were planning to move the bodies before police arrived,” Nyambura said.
She added that the carcasses would be disposed of in line with health and safety guidelines.
Residents expressed anger and concern, fearing they may have unknowingly consumed donkey meat. “We demand action against the suspect, who we believe has been collaborating with outsiders to steal our livestock and sell them in nearby towns,” Maina stated.
