Mourners cover the grave without the body of Bernard Onyango (inset), aka Jachiga, at his home in Chiga, Kisumu County yesterday. Hundreds of frenzied mourners yesterday stopped the burial of Ohangla musician Abenny Jachiga in a day-long battle with police that left scores injured. The mourners even filled up the empty grave with boulders to stop the burial, claiming it was too hurried. “They’ve hidden the body, but we will stand here until they return with it,” one of the mourners said. By this time, the grave had been covered with soil by some of mourners opposed to the burial.
