Police officers have arrested a self-proclaimed preacher who was found in possession of human body parts stashed in a carton in his car by car wash attendants at Masikhu market.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI),  the suspect, Levis Simiyu, is said to be a pastor at a local church in Ndivisi.

An attendant was cleaning the boot only for him to notice a protruding human leg, partly burnt and resting atop other parts.

"The young man abandoned his duty ready to retire early, until the petrol station manager took a gaze at the creepy box. She (the manager) immediately informed the police at Webuye station, who arrived in time before the car owner could drive off,” DCI added.

The body parts have been taken to the Webuye Hospital morgue for further analysis.
