On August 21, 2021, police exhumed the body of 12-year-old Grace Njeri, suspected to be one of the five minors abducted, defiled, and killed by serial killer Evans Juma Wanjala, for postmortem and DNA tests.
Njeri's body was exhumed at her grandparent's home in Karara-Nyakinyua, Moi's Bridge, in a three-hour exercise by detectives from the Homicide and Forensic department, as family and neighbours watched.
According to the DCI, the body parts were not subjected to postmortem or DNA tests before burial, which was on June 24, 2020.
Wanjala, who is set to appear in court on Monday, is said to have confessed to defiling and killing four other children, including 13-year-old Linda Cherono, whose body was found near Baharini Dam on June 15, 2021.
Cherono went missing on June 11, 2021, and all the bodies had evidence of defilement.
