- Six decomposing female bodies were found in a quarry in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi on Friday, leading to protests at a nearby police station.
- The bodies, wrapped in nylon papers and reinforced with nylon ropes, have been transported to a mortuary awaiting postmortem examinations.
- The discovery of the bodies on Friday has sparked fresh public anger and shed a new light on Kenya's femicide crisis, just months after thousands of women marched with banners reading: 'Stop killing us.'
- Kenya's police chief Japheth Koome resigned on Friday after nearly all of President William Ruto's cabinet was fired, except for Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
