A family in Kakamega has had to cancel burial arrangements of Salida Vugutsa who died in Saudi Arabia on January 29 after her body was left in Germany following a mix-up.
The family from Igina village in Lugari Constituency arrived at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Tuesday night but were shocked when they were informed that it was missing.
“It is disturbing that we travelled all the way from Western to receive the body of my sister only to be told it was not on the plane. The staff appeared confused when we demanded to see the body and later informed our driver that the consignment, with the body, was left in Germany by mistake. We hired a hearse on Monday so that the team could have time to rest before reporting to the JKIA,” said Patrick Talia, Vugutsa s brother.
