It was reported on Friday that the site where the Mau Mau hero was buried had been found, 62 years ago after he was executed by the colonial government on February 18, 1957.
The reports were attributed to Evelyn Wanjugu Kimathi, Chief Executive Officer of the Dedan Kimathi Foundation.
Meanwhile, following the reports on Friday, the hero's family said it had prepared a site at their Kinangop home in Nyandarua County for a decent burial.
