The family now requests speedy investigations to uncover the perpetrator and motivations behind the incident.

Maina's body was later transported to the Up Home Mortuary, which is located just adjacent to where it was discovered.

This is the second body recovered in recent days after a middle-aged woman's body was discovered in Kinale Forest on Monday.

She was supposedly raped before she died.
