NIGHTMARE IN VIHIGA: KISII FAMILY SEEKS JUSTICE AFTER SON IS 'WRONGLY BURIED' IN MBALE
A grieving family from Kisii County is living through unimaginable pain after their son was allegedly buried by strangers in Mbale, Vihiga County—without their knowledge or consent.
💔 A Life Cut Short
The late Polycarp Ondieki Omari, a dedicated teacher who graduated in 2018, had left his home in Bomoseri, Kisii, in search of better opportunities in Nairobi.
On March 2, 2026, his life took a tragic turn when he mysteriously disappeared while on a phone call, leaving his family in distress and uncertainty.
😢 Tragedy Confirmed—But Not the End
After days of searching, the family's worst fears were confirmed on March 10 when they identified his body at the Nairobi City Mortuary.
But what followed has left them devastated beyond words.
⚠️ Body Allegedly Taken and Buried by Strangers
In a shocking twist, unknown individuals reportedly claimed the body, insisting it belonged to their relative who had been missing for 15 years.
Without proper verification, they allegedly proceeded to bury Polycarp in Mbale, Vihiga County—denying his real family the chance to give him a dignified send-off.
Now, the family is left with an empty grave and unanswered questions.
📢 Family Cries Out for Justice
The devastated family is making an urgent appeal:
- To the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI): Launch a thorough investigation into how the mortuary released the body without proper identification.
- To leaders and authorities: Intervene immediately to facilitate exhumation and conduct DNA testing to confirm identity.
- To the public: Help amplify their voice so they can finally bring their son home.
⚖️ A Pain No Family Should Endure
This tragic case raises serious concerns about accountability, identification procedures, and the handling of bodies in public institutions.
No parent should have to fight to bury their own child. As the family seeks justice and closure, Kenyans are being urged to stand with them and demand answers.
