By Dominic WabalaPolice yesterday found one of a Nairobi lawyer's children who have been missing since last week.
Lawyer Paul Magu's brother identified the girl, whose body was mutilated, as Magu's daughter.
The mutilated and acid-burnt body was found at a Ruiru coffee plantation, police said.
Family spokesman Andrew Muhiu told the Star relatives identified the body at the Thika District Hospital.
Police spokeswoman Zipporah Mboroki yesterday said the girl was dressed in grey pajamas and her hair was plaited.
Police suspect a corrosive acid was poured on the child.
Police and Magu's family have been pursuing every clue in search of the three children, whose parents' bodies were found in two different locations in Thika and Kiambu last week.
Police are yet to find nine-year-old Allen Magu and his eight-year-old brother Ryan.
The two and their five-year-old sister Tiffany have been missing since last week after their father, Magu, drove with them out of their Muthaiga North Pipeline estate residence.
The family's house help told police that the father had applied what he described as "anointment oil" on the three children before he drove them out of the home.
The children's mother, 30-year-old Lydia Wangui's mutilated body was found near Paradise Lost on Kiambu Road on November 24.
Thirty-five-year-old Magu's body was recovered at Ngoliba on the Thika-Garissa highway after he allegedly jumped in front of a Nairobi-bound bus and was run over.
Thika OCPD Stephen Maithya yesterday said he received a call from someone telling him that the children's bodies were in a dam at Del Monte estate, but he could not confirm the claims.
"I called the chief of security at Del Monte farm and he promised to send his people to search all the 20 dams. So far, nothing has been confirmed yet," Maithya said.
Police also searched around a dam in Kiambu and another in Kandara after being told that the children's bodies were seen there.
Even as the search hit the second week, lawyer Magu's mother said she had disowned him because of his strange religious activities.
Kezziah Wambui, the lawyer's mother, told journalists at her Kimuchu village home on the outskirts of Thika that she had disowned her son two years ago after he started a cult in one of the rooms in his posh home at Pipeline Estate, Muthaiga.
