Victim of surgeon’s mess to be buried

By Elizabeth Mwai

After 14 days of anguish, Karen Hospital has released the body of the boy who died following post-surgery complications.

The boy’s father, John Ogwayo, yesterday announced the burial of his son would be next Wednesday.

"The family has taken the body from Montezuma Funeral Home and transferred it to Chiromo mortuary," said Mr Ogwayo.

Speaking to The Standard, Ogwayo said they would have loved to bury the boy in Kasipul-Kabondo, but would lay him at the Lang’ata cemetery due to financial constraints.

The plight of the parents of Nevil Okal, 10, was highlighted in The Standard on Monday as the hospital refused to let go of the body until Sh4 million bill was cleared.
