The names of the 32 people who were killed in an attack by al Shabaab militia in Mandera on Tuesday morning have been released.
Government chief pathologist Johansen Oduor said postmortem for the identified bodies will commence Thursday morning.
“We received 36 male bodies and all we are doing today is counsel the families and let them identify the bodies after which postmortem will start tomorrow and last for the next three days”, said Oduor.
By Wednesday 2pm, 28 out of the 36 bodies had been identified with serious gun shots in the head with ages ranging between 22 and 58 years.
