Customs at play as court allows burial of man 16 months later

A court has allowed a family to bury their kin after 16 months of a protracted legal battle over his resting place.

In a case meant to determine his legitimate home, a Kisumu magistrate's court went through the Luo customs, making reference to some of the past precedents, before ruling that Alex Odhiambo's body should be buried at his ancestral home in Dago, Nyalenda B.
