''We were informed by residents that they saw two sacks in the river and they suspected that they were bodies. When police officers visited the scene and after removing the sacks from the river, two bodies of middle-aged men were found inside the sacks,'' Mutiso said.

Mutiso further revealed that the unidentified bodies are of men aged between 25 and 30 years.

Police believe that the two, who had signs of strangulation on their necks, might have been killed elsewhere and their bodies dumped on the bridge.

The bodies were moved to Embu Level 5 hospital pending identification and autopsy.

Mutiso called on whoever may have lost their kin to report to Makutano police station to help in the identification of the bodies that are currently lying at Embu Level 5 Hospital morgue.

Karuku residents are however not shocked by the incident saying the area witnesses similar bizarre incidents almost every year.

Notably, police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have in the recent days launched a crackdown on criminal activities in the country.

This week, DCI managed to get hold of a suspected mastermind behind the chilling shooting of a man at Mirema Drive in Nairobi.
