She was identified because police found a handbag beside the body, which they suspected it belonged to the deceased.

The contents of the bag were an identification waiting card and a police abstract issued at Kamukunji Police Station.

Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei told The Star that they suspect the woman was killed elsewhere and the body ferried to the location.

The motive of the murder is yet to be known, with no arrests made so far.
