A dramatic scene is unfolding in Gotinyango, Keroka in Kisii County, where a body is being exhumed after a family buried the wrong person, believing she was their missing daughter.
Sarah, a young woman from Kisii, had been missing for two months without any communication. During that time, a friend informed the family that a woman who looked like her had died in a road accident. They went to the Keroka morgue and identified a body they believed was their daughter. They later held a funeral and buried her on their land.
However, months after the burial, the real Sarah suddenly called home using a friend’s phone, revealing she was alive. The news shocked the family, who immediately started the legal process to exhume the body of the unknown woman they had buried.
The exhumation is happening right now, as officials and family members try to uncover the truth about the identity of the deceased woman.
