An investigation is underway in Kericho, Kenya, after 32 bodies, mostly children, were exhumed from a mass grave.
Police initially went to the site to retrieve 14 bodies, but the number quickly rose after more remains were found.
According to government pathologist Dr. Richard Njoroge, the bodies were discovered “stacked in gunny bags”. The bodies include seven adults and 25 children, along with several body parts.
The pathologist added that some of the bodies appeared to have originated from hospitals and mortuaries, but that would be further determined after autopsies.
Authorities are questioning why the bodies were buried at a site owned by the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), which denies any involvement and says it had no knowledge of the burial.
So far, two suspects have been arrested, with more people being questioned.
