A family that has been searching for their daughter since the Al-Shabaab attack at Garissa University College in April now says a body exhumed last Saturday in Mwingi is that of their daughter.

Mr Issac Mutisya, father of Risper Kasyoka, who has been missing since the terror attack, said the family had positively identified the body which is being preserved at Mwingi Level Four Hospital mortuary.
