The government has suspended the search and exhumation of bodies at Shakahola Forest in Kilifi until early next year after relatives of the identified victims collect the bodies to decongest the mortuaries in the county.

Homicide detectives and forensic investigators involved in the operation last month identified more than 40 mass graves.
