The body of a 41-year-old woman was on Friday exhumed in Embu North sub county three days after she was buried under a mistaken identity situation. The family of Augusta Wanjiru mistakenly took the body of Daisy Karimi from the Embu level 5 mortuary and buried her at a donated land in Kathangari on Wednesday. The news came later in the day from the mortuary official that they had buried Daisy Karimi instead of Augusta Wanjiru. The morgue attendants also realized they had given the body of Daisy Karimi to the wrong family after Karimi’s family complained of the wrong body and demanded their Kin’s actual body. “We were at the mortuary by 8:30 am and now is 6 pm, we were given the wrong body and the mortuary attendants are taking us round,” Catherine Nyaga, Daisy’s cousin said then.
