A man arrested in connection with the kidnapping and murder of two minor boys has claimed he killed 12 in what police suspect are witchcraft rituals.
Two bodies were recovered on Tuesday in a thicket in the Kabete area near Kabete Approved School in Nairobi.
One was found Wednesday afternoon in the Kabete area from a river bank.
Police were searching for a fourth body in the Pumwani area.
The search was also underway in Machakos.
The suspect, Masten Milimu Wanjala, 20, led police to the bodies. He was arrested on Monday in Kitengela.
Nairobi police boss Augustine Nthumbi said they are yet to establish the motive behind the murders but suspect witchcraft rituals.
Police first found the bodies of two boys, 12 and 13. They were strangled, mutilated and their ears were cut off, witnesses said.
They were identified as Charles Opindo Bala, 13, who went missing on June 30, and Junior Mutuku Musyoka, 12, who went missing on July 7. They went missing from Shauri Moyo.
