It is now one year since Al Shabaab terrorists killed Kenyan soldiers in El Adde, Somalia, but the family of David Gitonga is still waiting for his body.

"I don't want to talk about it because it will only re-open old wounds. I will speak only when I see him. I am still waiting," his mother Alice Muthoni tells The Standard on Sunday.
