Although the identities of the victims have yet to be confirmed, initial reports from Kondele suggest that the majority of the deceased are women.
This revelation has heightened the anxiety among residents and human rights organizations, who fear that more bodies could be uncovered as the search continues.
Human rights activist Khalid Hussein confirmed the ongoing search in a recent post, stating, “We are continuing our efforts to find and identify all the victims.”
The discovery has prompted a thorough investigation by DCI detective Mohamed Amin. He stated that homicide detectives and forensic officers from the DCI are diligently analyzing samples to ascertain the identities of the victims.
Witnesses and police officers on the scene reported that some of the bodies showed signs of burns, adding to the horror of the situation. There are growing concerns that the death toll could rise as the investigation progresses.
