They are victims of the horrendous crash which occurred along the Londiani-Muhoroni road after a 62-seater bus christened Home Boyz belonging to Western Cross Express Sacco veered off the road while descending a steep slope, hit a guard rail, rolled and plunged down about 20 metres before landing on a rocky farm.

"I want to call on anyone who had a relative in that ill-fated bus to come forward and assist us in identifying the bodies and claiming them because we're unable to continue holding the bodies at the mortuary," said Mr Mugera.
Meanwhile, the bodies of six family members who perished at Chepseon on December 3 were on Saturday moved to Kisumu for further preservation as burial arrangements continue.
