Residents of Baringo South are still trying to wrap their heads around a bizarre crime that has left many both amused and appalled - thieves broke into a mortuary and made away with body trays.   The incident happened just days before the mortuary, the only one in Baringo South, was scheduled to be officially opened to the public.

The facility is meant to serve residents of Tiaty and Baringo South.

According to local authorities, the thieves not only took the body trays but also carted away vital power cables, rendering the mortuary completely inoperable.

The incident has delayed the commissioning of the facility indefinitely.
