Emerging details indicate that Eastleigh murder suspect Hashim Dagane Muhumed may have been a hired assassin tasked with killing three women.
Investigations reveal that Hashim confessed to being involved, alongside other unidentified individuals, in the murders of Warris Daud, her child, and her niece, Nusayba Abdi.
He further admitted to single-handedly killing his girlfriend, Deka Abdinoor, a Great Lakes University student, and dismembering her body before disposing of the parts at Lang’ata Cemetery in Nairobi.
On Friday, Hashim led detectives to the cemetery on a fact-finding mission to trace the missing body parts of Deka Abdinoor. At the site, he detailed how he had discarded the remains in various locations within the cemetery.
Police suspect some of the missing parts, including portions of her hands and legs, may have been scavenged by hyenas from the neighboring Nairobi National Park.

The brutal murder of Deka, Hashim revealed, stemmed from her knowledge of his involvement in the killings of Warris Daud and the other victims. DNA samples have been collected, and Deka’s family is awaiting the results for official identification of the remains.
Further investigations suggest Hashim was paid millions of shillings to kill Warris Daud, with police linking the murders to a possible love triangle involving Warris and another woman.
Amina Abdi and Nusayba Abdi were reportedly killed as collateral damage. Detectives believe each member of the gang, including Hashim, received over Ksh.1 million for their involvement in the killings.
Hashim remains in police custody and faces murder charges for the four victims, whose killings have been described as among the most horrific in recent memory. The suspect will appear in court on December 2 for further proceedings as investigators continue to pursue other suspects believed to be part of the gang.
