On Monday morning, a gruesome discovery was made along Mombasa's Florida Beach near the ferry landing site. A mutilated body of a middle-aged man was found by fishermen.
The body, estimated to be between 30-35 years old, had a missing left arm. According to a report on the Kenya Ferry Services Facebook page, the body was sighted by fishermen along the Florida beach area near the ferry landing site.
Kenya Ferry Services has asked anyone with information to visit the police station. The body has been taken to the Coast General Hospital Mortuary by officers from the Ferry Police Station.
This incident comes on the heels of another tragic event in which a man drove into the Likoni Channel in the early hours of Saturday morning. The body of 46-year-old John Mutinda was recovered by a multi-agency team led by Kenya Navy Divers after he drove his Toyota Allion vehicle into the ocean at around 5 AM on Saturday.
According to reports, Mutinda was a disturbed man who ignored warning from ferry officials. He almost knocked an employee of KFS as he drove to his death. Police are treating the case as a suicide.
