Drama unfolded at the Nakuru Municipal Mortuary on Saturday after a woman, whose ‘body’ her family had showed up to collect for burial ‘resurrected’, much to the shock of morgue attendants and relatives.

According to morgue superintendent Allois Momanyi, a body was brought to the facility two weeks ago but two different families, one from Kaptembwa estate within the town and another one from Wanyororo in Lanet, identified separately and claimed ownership.
