    Out of the 36 postmortem, he said that  15 were children and 19 were adults.

    “We were unable to ascertain one body whether it was adult or child,” he said.

    He noted that there were 17  males and 19 females.

    ” 23 bodies were severely decomposed 11 were moderately decomposed but two were mild meaning that they were not badly decomposed,” he said.

    “Majority died because of features of starvation which were 23, while 4 died as a result of Asphyxiation which means they were deprived of oxygen,” he added.

    Oduor said they were unable to ascertain the cause of death for seven bodies because of the nature of their decomposition.
