Westgate Mall, Nairobi: Eyes gouged out,
bodies hanging from hooks, and fingers removed with pliers 'Eyes gouged
out, bodies hanging from hooks, and fingers removed with pliers':
Horrific claims of torture emerge as soldiers reveal gory Kenyan mall
massacre details
Kenyan soldiers claim to find scenes of torture by mall terrorists
They say children found dead in food fridges with knives still in bodies
Men were said to have been castrated and had fingers removed
Soldiers told of the horrific torture
meted out by terrorists in the Nairobi mall massacre yesterday with
claims hostages were dismembered, had their eyes gouged out and were
left hanging from hooks in the ceiling.
Men were said to have been castrated and had fingers removed with pliers before being blinded and hanged.
Children were found dead in the food court fridges with knives still embedded in their bodies, it was claimed.
Most of the defeated terrorists,
meanwhile, were reportedly discovered ‘burnt to ashes’, set alight by
the last extremist standing to try to protect their identities.
The horrifying details came yesterday as
the first pictures emerged from within the wreckage of the building,
showing piles of bodies left strewn across the floor. A third of the
mall was destroyed in the battle between terrorists and Kenyan troops.
Lying in the rubble are feared to be the
bodies of as many as 71 civilians who have been declared missing by the
Kenyan Red Cross.
With detectives, including the FBI and
the Metropolitan Police, still unable to reach the wrecked part of the
mall for fear of setting off explosives, it could take up to a week to
determine exactly who is still inside.
Yesterday, soldiers and doctors who were
among the first people into the mall after it was reclaimed on Tuesday,
spoke of the horrifying scenes inside.
‘You find people with hooks hanging from the roof,’ said one Kenyan doctor, who asked not to be named.
‘They removed eyes, ears, nose. They get
your hand and sharpen it like a pencil then they tell you to write your
name with the blood. They drive knives inside a child’s body. 'Actually
if you look at all the bodies, unless those ones that were escaping,
fingers are cut by pliers, the noses are ripped by pliers. Here it was
pain.’
A soldier, who took pictures at a bread
counter and at the ArtCaffe, said he was so traumatised by what he saw
he has had to seek counselling.
Bomb disposal experts with sniffer dogs
were yesterday painstakingly combing the part of the building still
standing for explosives before clearing forensic officers, police and
troops to search for bodies.
Images also emerged yesterday revealing
the true extent of the destruction caused to the centre during the
four-day battle between Kenyan forces and Islamic militants.
The first pictures taken inside the site
show a gaping hole in the mall's roof after three storeys collapsed
when Kenyan soldiers fired rocket-propelled grenades inside the complex,
knocking out a support column, a government official said.
Children's buggies are left abandoned just metres from the yawning pit, as cars hang precariously over the edge.
Beneath many more vehicles lie on top of
each other, smashed to pieces.The collapse happened on Monday when
government troops launched a massive assault on the mall where up to 150
people are thought to have been killed.
During the firefight, hostages
reportedly had their throats slashed from ear to ear and were thrown
screaming from third-floor balconies as the siege came to a bloody end.
Forensics teams, still sifting through the mountains of rubble, fear many more bodies are yet to be found.
Shell-shocked Kenyan troops said the
inside of the Israeli-run mall resembled a ‘scene from a horror movie’
with blood spattered everywhere and dead bodies strewn across the
floor.
