00:00The body that we've just exhumed here belongs to a middle-aged female person.
00:08And we have yet to find out the relationship between the lead and the suspect that we have.
00:22But it's quite evident that they are related in a way.
00:27Because they were living in the same house.
00:31We don't know what really happened for her to be killed.
00:37Maybe in the course of our investigations we can be able to establish more about it.
00:57There is a possibility that they are involved.
01:09So far I think we have about two cases which are directly linked to the suspect.
01:16We will have to find out more if they are involved in the other murders that have been witnessed in the county.
01:24Is the scene now clear of bodies?
01:31Because there is an assumption that there is a possibility that there are more bodies in the scene.
01:37Yes, we've also seen in social media a lot of misinformation circulating that there are a lot of bodies.
01:46But as a few witnesses by yourself, we have been able to exhume only one body.
01:52And so far we have cleared. We are not expecting any more bodies in the suspect's shell.
02:02Your name, sir?
02:04My name is Paul Songok, County Criminal Investigation Officer Trans-Nairobi.
02:09Maybe for record, has that body been identified?
02:13Yes.
02:15Details?
02:17I don't want to mention names, but we have the relatives around.
02:21They have been able to identify it.
02:23We are here to trace the parents, but we have a sister to the deceased here.
02:31Do you have any information about the bodies?
02:35That now will be subject to post-mortem, but I cannot be able to ascertain if there are any injuries in the body.
02:44Because if you look at the state of the body, you cannot be able to tell our friends if there are any injuries.
