00:0133 bodies and most of them children.
00:04Residents in the western Kenyan town of Kericho were still horrified on Thursday
00:09following the discovery of a mass grave in the area.
00:12Police announced on the same day that the bodies had apparently been transferred to the grave from a hospital morgue.
00:19The discovery is raising questions.
00:21We have been here and we have been living in Kericho County for as long as 24 years, 27 years.
00:29We were born here, seen a lot but never seen anything like this.
00:33So we need something that will show us the truth about these bodies.
00:39For now, it is still not clear why the bodies were removed from the morgue and buried in the church
00:44-owned cemetery
00:45and whether they were buried there legally.
00:50We have been here for the last three days waiting for investigations to conclude.
00:54Many people were here looking on, but we still have not gotten to know the real reason why those bodies
01:00were buried there.
01:01We have heard they were brought from another county and buried here in Kericho.
01:05We do not know why, but as residents of Kericho we are waiting to find out why they came to
01:11be buried here.
01:13Under Kenyan law, hospitals and morgues are required to dispose bodies that are unclaimed for more than 14 days.
01:21But this process requires an authorization by court order.
01:24An investigation is underway and local residents may need to be patient before receiving answers.
01:31Ojib saben witnesses.
01:32Their alert.
01:34This is a hooked fireball.
