  "account": "In Nyandarua County, police are currently investigating a murder after the body of an unidentified woman was discovered inside a sack floating in Sasumua Dam. The body was found on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in Choriri Village following a tip-off from a local resident. Upon inspection, authorities discovered a sack tied at one end near the dam's shore, and upon opening it, they found the naked body of a woman, estimated to be around 25 years old. The victim had her hands and legs tied, and a stone had been placed inside the sack, possibly to weigh down the body. A preliminary examination revealed injuries around her neck, mouth, and private parts, suggesting she may have been assaulted prior to her death. The police suspect that strangulation and blunt-force trauma could have been involved in her demise, though the exact cause of death remains undetermined. The dam supplies water to Nairobi, and the scene was documented before the body was transferred to Engineer County Hospital mortuary for preservation ahead of a postmortem examination. Police are now working to identify the woman, determine the circumstances of her death, and apprehend those responsible for the suspected murder.",
