Government pathologist Johansen Oduor has revealed how they found themselves in the vast Shakahola forest in Kilifi. This was upon application by the DCI to a Magistrate court in Malindi which issued an order for exhumation as per the Kenyan law. He said based on the initial exhumation order, only three pathologists had gone to Shakahola hoping they would be done with the exercise within three days. It was after serious planning with the multidisciplinary team that the exhumation exercise finally started and went on till October. “Exhumation process involved identification of graves by use of informants, securing the graves, marking the grave, mapping the area, photography and subsequent exhumation,” the government pathologist said.
