[Muriithi Mugo, Standard]Embu county was treated to a drama between two families after a mix up over two female bodies at the Embu Level 5 Hospital Mortuary. Late Karimi’s family members claimed they reached out to a member of the procession that had picked the wrong body. “It appears the family member kept quiet, out of fear that the spirits of the dead, would haunt her if she delivered the message which would have stopped the funeral programme,” said a villager from Kathangari. To exhume Karimi’s body and correct the mix-up, the families had to go through the mandatory court process. She added she returned to the morgue only to find the body of her daughter was still lying at the morgue.
