The family of a man whose body has been lying in the morgue for more than eight years got a reprieve after a Kisumu court ruled in their favour in a case over disputed land. The family's woes began the same month when they tried to bury him in their ancestral land in Tieng're K'oranda village. The burial was stopped by one James Onunga accompanied by police officers claiming the parcel of land was his. However, in 2017, the family received a court order and went ahead to bury their kin in the same land. She said in 2014 the family brought Ogada's body for burial but Onunga came with policemen and stopped the event and the body was returned to the mortuary.
