The body of a woman who had been missing for more than two weeks was found in a family borehole in Themu village, Mukurwe-ini, Nyeri.
The body was found in the well with her legs and hands tied and two stones placed in between and in a gunny bag.
Police said the body had decomposed and she was reported missing on January 3.
The body was retrieved on Thursday, January 16, after locals in the Mwambao village complained of a foul smell emanating from the well.
Police responded to the scene and confirmed there was a body in the gunny bag floating in the water.
The body was in a well that is within a farm and was in use.
The police said the husband is a person of interest in the case.
Efforts to trace him for grilling were ongoing on Friday, police said.
The motive of the incident is yet to be established.
The remains were moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy.
This will inform how the woman died and form the basis of the probe, police said.
