The body of a minor allegedly killed in Wajir County for refusing to be married off to a 55-year-old man will be exhumed on Tuesday.
The 17-year-old Gaala Aden Abdi's body will be disinterred after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) secured a court order to allow a postmortem examination as part of a murder investigation.
The Standard has learned that a private pathologist is already in Wajir, while a government pathologist is expected to arrive in Daadab Refugee Camp today for the exercise.
Gaala, a refugee, was reportedly killed on March 27, 2025, and her body was burned beyond recognition after she resisted being forcibly married off.
