In 2008, two women were rescued from a house in Naivasha’s Kihoto slums in deplorable health. The two, Esther Akinyi and Naomi Wanjiru, could barely speak. They claimed they had been kidnapped, raped and drugged by an unknown stranger who drained and drunk their blood as they watched.
After investigating the matter, police in Naivasha arrested 26-year-old Geoffrey Matheri alias Fungo as the key suspect, and exhumed the body of a woman with some parts missing from a shallow grave in his house.
Matheri reportedly told detectives he committed the evil acts as instructed by Bishop Jeremiah Parangyo. He drunk human blood and sold his victims’ body parts to members of a religious cult.
Subsequently, police arrested Bishop Parangyo of New Hope for All Nations Church, who told reporters that his detractors were out to malign him.
In 2011, a Naivasha court sentenced Matheri to four years in prison the count of kidnapping after police failed to adduce evidence to prove rape. The self-confessed serial killer and man-eater spoke to KTN investigative series Case Files from Naivasha Maximum Prison.
I had kidnapped two women and kept them in my house. I did all that under strict instructions from a pastor. I remember one day after draining two mugs of blood from the ladies, he said I had killed enough for the cause. I used to drain human blood, which I packed in bottles and delivered to the pastor at his church between 7pm and midnight.
How did you get involved in this?
It is the pastor who approached us. We were a group of street kids. He promised us a job that would lead to a better life. So I volunteered and he took me with him. I stayed at his place for a month before he assigned me the role of killing. At first, I refused but later changed my mind when he told me how much he was willing to pay. The money I got helped me build a house. I also own a plot and have two matatus.

He did it under the guidance of a pastor. Reminds me a bit about Abraham and Isaac. Isaac survives after Abraham hears a voice in his head telling him he no longer needs to slaughter the lad.
The Maya and Aztecs perished in their thousands. Human sacrifices. No timely voices in their butchers' heads.

True. I think there's more to this story though. Who paid the pastor? I doubt they'd get far in this investigation. So many politicians engage in ritual sacrifices. I have too many stories, most of which I'm still too baffled to believe so myself.

Interesting take on the "history of bloodletting"
http://www.bcmj.org/premise/history-bloodletting
Why did it persist?
We may wonder why the practice of bloodletting persisted for so long, especially when discoveries by Vesalius and Harvey in the 16th and 17th centuries exposed the significant errors of Galenic anatomy and physiology. However as Kerridge and Lowe have stated, “that bloodletting survived for so long is not an intellectual anomaly—it resulted from the dynamic interaction of social, economic, and intellectual pressures, a process that continues to determine medical practice.”[9]
With our present understanding of pathophysiology we might be tempted to laugh at such methods of therapy. But what will physicians think of our current medical practice 100 years from now? They may be astonished at our overuse of antibiotics, our tendency to polypharmacy, and the bluntness of treatments like radiation and chemotherapy.
In the future we can anticipate that with further advances in medical knowledge our diagnoses will become more refined and our treatments less invasive. We can hope that medical research will proceed unhampered by commercial pressures and unfettered by political ideology. And if we truly believe that we can move closer to the pure goal of scientific truth.
I believe the future is definately less invasive.
When to Bleed
Selecting a time for bleeding usually depended on the nature of the disease and the patient’s ability to withstand the process. Galen’s scheme, in contrast to the Hippocratic doctrine, recommended no specific days.[24] Hippocrates worked out an elaborate schedule, based on the onset and type of disease, to which the physician was instructed to adhere regardless of the patient’s condition.
Natural events outside the body served as indicators for selecting the time, site, and frequency of bloodletting during the Middle Ages when astrological influences dominated diagnostic and therapeutic thought. This is illustrated by the fact that the earliest printed document relating to medicine was the “Calendar for Bloodletting” issued in Mainz in 1457. This type of calendar, also used for purgation, was known as an Aderlasskalender, and was printed in other German cities such as Augsburg, Nuremberg, Strassburg, and Leipzig. During the fifteenth century these calendars and Pestblatter, or plague warnings, were the most popular medical literature. Sir William Osler and Karl Sudhoff studied hundreds of these calendars.[25] They consisted of a single sheet with some astronomical figures and a diagram of a man (Aderlassmann) depicting the influence of the stars and the signs of the zodiac on each part of the body, as well as the parts of the anatomy suitable for bleeding. These charts illustrated the veins and arteries that should be incised to let blood for specific ailments and usually included brief instructions in the margin. The annotated bloodletting figure was one of the earliest subjects of woodcuts. One early and well known Aderlassmann was prepared by Johann Regiomontanus (Johannes Müller) in 1473. It contained a dozen proper bleeding points, each suited for use under a sign of the zodiac. Other Aderlassmanner illustrated specific veins to be bled. The woodcut produced by the sixteenth-century mathematician, Johannes Stoeffer, illustrated 53 points where the lancet might be inserted.[26]
V. interesting.

Blood drinking spawned by white settlers passed onto Kenyan elites makes sense. MM is an expert on blood drinking matters.

At the beginning of the century, Naivasha gained worldwide notoriety as the playground of wealthy settlers whose lives were characterised by endless debauchery, which earned it the name of the Happy Valley.
Books such as White Mischief, which tell of murders and sex exploits like wife swapping, capture the lifestyle of the early settlers.
Naturally, the British aristocracy was scandalised by the loose morals of their kin in the colony. Some of the notable characters who inhibited the Happy Valley included the Casanova, Lord Errol, whose murder in Nairobi in 1941, remains a mystery. It is widely believed that the murder was the work of a jealous lover though.
Since those days, the town has always attracted infamy. Since the turn of the millennium, the town has been in the news all for the wrong reasons regularly.

So this is how they trade organs, blood etc. the flower industry aka blood flowers.
Since this requires a supply chain which is refrigerated at every stage of the way over land and sea, the reefer containers are loaded during the production phase. The reduction of CO2 emissions during the first test was equal to making 100 journeys in a new passenger car between Amsterdam and Barcelona and back. Tests conducted by Wageningen UR have yet to demonstrate the ultimate vase life of flowers transported by sea and to indicate which varieties are the most suitable for this mode of transport.
