Vandals desecrate graveyard for pioneer 19th century missionary in Rabai, Kilifi

After staying undisturbed for a century and a half, suspected vandals finally made their way to the oldest Christian Missionary Cemetery in the country and dug out the grave of one of the founding fathers and took away part of his remains.

Reverend Emund Butterworth's skull and rib cage are still missing. Investigations by the Sunday Standard show the vandals dug up the grave for two days before making away with the various body parts.
