Teresia Njeri has been having sleepless nights since the Patel Dam tragedy early last month. While she escaped death, her father Stephen Mbugua and her six-year-old daughter Mary Wangui were not so lucky.

But even more disturbing for Ms Njeri, 35, is the fact she cannot bury her daughter. Reason? Another family has laid claim to the body. Her father has since been buried.
