Kenyan authorities are conducting an investigation in Kericho after discovering a mass grave containing more than 30 bodies, many of them children.
A cemetery caretaker is in custody, and another suspect has been detained.
The exhumation was done after the police obtained a court order to retrieve 14 bodies that were initially believed to have been buried at the site.
Government pathologist told journalists on Tuesday evening that what they found was “quite unusual” with bodies “stacked in gunny bags”, after a day-long process that was interrupted by heavy rains.
A post-mortem examination is expected to begin.
