Authorities unearthed about 32 bodies, primarily children, from a mass grave in the western Kenyan town of Kericho, prompting an urgent investigation. The exhumation followed a court order to retrieve 14 bodies believed to have been interred at the site. Government pathologist Richard Njoroge described the examination as 'quite unusual' with the bodies 'stacked in gunny bags,' revealing a shocking level of neglect and possible malpractice. Among the remains were seven adults and 25 children, some appearing to have come from local hospitals. The deteriorating condition of the adult remains compared to the children's suggests that they died at different intervals. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding this mass burial, with a focus on potential criminal activities that may have occurred. Skepticism remains regarding how these bodies ended up at the site, which is linked to the National Council of Churches of Kenya, who deny any connection to the secretive burial. With calls for immediate identification of the victims and accountability, this grim discovery echoes a previous case involving the deaths of many followers of a self-proclaimed pastor in a separate incident that shook the nation.
