Police are looking into a case where alleged thugs broke into a mortuary in Nyandarua and stole a body.
According to a police report, the thieves later kept the body in a septic hole a few meters from the mortuary and police believe it was meant to ensure it is not found.
“The body of a juvenile identified as George Chege, 10 was stolen from the JM Kariuki Hospital morgue in Nyandarua where it was preserved,” the report indicated.
The incident’s motivation was not immediately clear.
An attendant told police on Wednesday, December 7 he had realized there was a break-in at the facility.
At around 8:00 am, the attendant discovered the main entrance had been damaged as he was arriving for work.
He phoned the police and they walked in and learned a corpse had been stolen.
According to the police, they found evidence of breaking-ins at three of the block’s doors.
The burglars broke into one of the refrigerators in the mortuary, took the child’s body out, and fled with it.
A search was conducted before the said body was found in a septic hole out of the mortuary.
Police retrieved the body while intact and returned it to the mortuary.
Police said they plan a further inspection on the body. It is not clear what motivated the incident.
Police who are handling the incident said they are interested in knowing how the boy died as part of the probe into the incident.
