The government has temporarily suspended the exhumation of bodies linked to a suspected cult at Kwa Bi Nzaro village, Kilifi County, after a week-long operation unearthed 32 bodies and more than 65 body parts from shallow graves.

Coast Regional Coordinator Rhoda Onyancha confirmed that the multi-agency team, comprising pathologists, morticians, homicide detectives and other security officers, had cleared the 27 marked graves suspected to contain human remains.
