Siaya: All nine bodies of artistes who died Saturday when their boat capsized in Lake Victoria have been recovered.

The boat ferrying members of the popular Extra Young Ohangla band began to take in water Saturday at about 8am, with seepage from the hull quickly filling the vessel with the shore just 20 minutes away.
