Seven unknown bodies still lie at Yala morgue

According to Okal, three of the bodies were recovered from River Yala and four along the river within the community.

"Six of the bodies are of males and one female," he said.

With a capacity of 16 bodies, Okal says the facility is overstretched.

"By virtue of being along the border, the facility serves at least three counties. We've run out of space because of the uncollected bodies," he added.

Earlier this year, River hit headlines after 32 bodies were retrieved.

13 bodies were positively identified by their kin and collected for burial from the mortuary.

Some of the bodies had ropes around their necks and the fingers were severed or burnt in what authorities believe was meant to erase their identities.
