Five bodies believed to be followers of an offshoot of the outlawed Good News International (GNI) were on Thursday exhumed from shallow graves in Kwa Binzaro village, Malindi, Kilifi County.
Government pathologist Dr Richard Njoroge said 10 human body parts were also recovered, scattered in nearby thickets close to the site of the 2023 Shakahola massacre.
The exhumation exercise, led by homicide detectives, forensic experts and pathologists, also uncovered 27 mass graves, raising fears that more bodies could be buried in the area. "We had 27 suspected graves, but today we managed to exhume six graves where we retrieved five bodies.
We also found 10 different body parts scattered on the surface," said Dr Njoroge.
