A court in Rongo, Migori County, has granted permission for the exhumation of the body of a General Service Unit (GSU) officer who was allegedly buried inside a church compound.
The move followed an application by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), which applied to have the body of the officer exhumed for investigations.
According to the prosecutors, the officer, a police constable, was reportedly buried on March 28 at the St Joseph's Missions of Messiah in Africa church, in Migori, without the family's permission.
It is believed that the police officer died under unclear circumstances on March 27 this year and was buried without the knowledge or consent of his parents or employer.
