There was grief and gloom at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi Thursday evening as the body of Kevin Oliech, a younger sibling to former Harambee Stars captain Dennis Oliech, arrived from Berlin, Germany.
Kevin, 33, died while undergoing treatment for a cancerous malignant.
The plane ferrying the body landed at the airport at 7pm after a sojourn in France ahead of his burial in Maseno, Seme village on Saturday, September 5.
