Body Of Garissa University Attack Victim To Be Exhumed

We are once again thrown into the dark days when Al Shabaab insurgents ambushed Garissa university college and massacred 148 people, majority of them students who were enjoying their sleep in the wee hours of the night.

It was one of the worst experiences on Kenyan soil and indeed East Africa as agony and grief engulfed the whole country.

And 4 months down the line, police have said that a body of one of the victims will have to be exhumed after it was discovered it had been handed to the wrong family out of confusion.

According to Tuko, Risper Mutinda’s body was mistakenly given to a family who buried her in Mwingi after the tragic incident that killed 148 people and left at least 79 injured.

Her father, Isaac Mutisya, would later report her missing after failing to trace her among the casualties at the Chiromo Funeral Parlour.

The family in Mwingi who took Risper’s remains unknowingly left their kin at the Chiromo Parlour.

It was until the other day that it was established who the owners of the body that has remained at Chiromo since April and now plans are underway to exhume the body and hand it to the owners in Kitui.

It was harder to tell the two apart as they shared names.
