Over the past three months, crime has left an indelible mark on a significant segment of Kenyan citizens, with approximately 18 percent falling victim to various criminal activities.

A recent survey by Trends and Insights for Africa (TIFA) delves into the geographical distribution of these incidents, revealing noteworthy variations.

In regions such as Nairobi and Western, crime rates soar to 22 percent, while Central Rift experiences a comparatively lower rate of 13 percent.

However, the reporting dynamics add a layer of complexity to the situation.

The survey highlights substantial differences in crime reporting across regions, with Western surpassing Lower Eastern and Nairobi by more than double, standing at an astounding 64 percent in contrast to 28 percent and 30 percent, respectively.

This reporting disparity suggests potential differences in the willingness or ability of residents in various regions to report crimes. The multifaceted nature of these regional variations involves factors such as socio-economic conditions, law enforcement efficacy, and community dynamics.

TIFA Analyst Tom Wolf noted the significance of understanding these regional nuances for effective policymaking and law enforcement interventions.

“Understanding these regional nuances is crucial for policymakers and law enforcement agencies to tailor interventions effectively. Strengthening crime prevention strategies, fostering community engagement, and improving reporting mechanisms are pivotal in addressing these challenges,” said TIFA Analyst Tom Wolf.

When they arrived at the scene, they were astonished to find a cooking pot filled with meat and some vegetables. At the scene, was a human skull and blood-stained clothes as well as the deceased’s gumboots. Police interrogated the suspect on his father’s whereabouts but he noted that he was also unaware as he was still searching for him. The rest of the missing body parts first spotted by the locals was found dumped in a sack and covered with stones inside Nithi River. One of the area residents who claimed that the suspect began digging the tunnel in 2017 stated that the suspect and his victim had an argument about the condition of the tunnel before he went missing. “The two had quarrelled after the man stopped his father from cutting the Napier grass around the tunnel,” Johnson Mutembei a resident told a local publication. The suspect is currently in custody pending arraignment in court to face murder charges. “We have arrested a man who is suspected to have killed his father, cooked part of the body and hidden some in a tunnel,” Muthambi Sub-County Police Commander stated.
