Efforts to recover the bodies of Mariam Kighenda and her daughter Amanda Mutheu who drowned at the Likoni channel last Sunday entered the eighth day yesterday.

State agencies involved in the operation have been in a spot, even as the affected family continues to hold onto hope, with no indication that the bodies will be located in the ocean.
