Asumbi victims to be buried
Parents and families of the eight pupils who died in the Asumbi Girls Boarding Primary School in Homa Bay have positively identified the bodies. They used dental formulas and name tags found on the remains of the girls. The pupils were burnt beyond recognition during the fire which took place about a week ago. During a meeting between the parents and doctors, the parents unanimously agreed to carry out the burials since there was no disputed body.
The government plans to carry out DNA tests on the victims. Ben Ayub Mbara, the father of Celestine Anyango, said he was happy with the identification process adding it was carried out in a positive and transparent manner. He said they will focus on organising the funeral service of their daughter. Assistant pathologist Boaz Otieno, said he could not confirm whether the identification process was carried out successfully since the DNA results have not been released.
