The families of the 34 individuals whose bodies were recovered and identified from the Shakahola mass grave site will start receiving their remains from March 26, 2024.Addressing journalists from the Malindi Sub-County Hospital on Wednesday, Government Pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor revealed that the State will provide counselling services to the affected families before handing over the bodies to them.
Dr. Oduor similarly advised persons seeking to collect the bodies to ensure they possess a letter from their local chiefs, adding that individuals who provided blood samples for DNA testing must be present during the body collection process.
These measures, Dr. Oduor said, are crucial for ensuring that the bodies are released to the correct families without any complications.
