For four years, Teresa Ogeto, 70 has been waking up to an open grave outside her compound in Nyagiti village in Marani Sub County Kisii.

The body of her son Kefah Oyaro, 22, was exhumed less than five hours after his burial as family members fought over an eight-acre piece of land. The bill at Kisii Level Five Hospital morgue that would later confront them has risen to more Sh500, 000.
