The families of Justus Mutumwa and Martin Mwau, two men who went missing in Mlolongo and were later found dead, will have to wait longer before burying their loved ones.

Their bodies, which were positively identified through fingerprints at the Nairobi Funeral Home, formerly City Mortuary, can only be released after DNA confirmation, according to government pathologists.

On Wednesday, government pathologist Richard Njoroge conducted post-mortems on the bodies but insisted that definitive identification through DNA testing was necessary before their release.
