SHOCKING! Severed Human head, hands sent to Police Commissioner

A severed human head has been sent to the boss of Kenya's police commission, Johnston Kavuludi, who has been trying to reform the police service. Mr Kavuludi was appointed last year to lead efforts to reform the police force.

According to the Daily Nation newspaper, a box containing the head and two human hands covered in blood also had the message: "Kavuludi, you are next".

The box was covered in yellow polythene and was deposited in a flower bed outside the National Police Service Commission offices in central Nairobi.

The police were alerted about two hours after the box was left on Thursday afternoon.

Nairobi police chief Benson Kibui linked the head to the previous discovery of a torso on a farm outside the city, and the police say they are interpreting it as a death threat.
