Une fosse commune contenant 33 corps a été découverte le 24 mars 2026 à Kericho, au Kenya. L'enquête a débuté après que de jeunes fossoyeurs ont alerté la police. Amos Nyaribo, gouverneur du comté voisin de Nyamira, a confirmé que 13 corps provenant de la morgue de l'hôpital avaient été enterrés et soupçonne un fonctionnaire de corruption pour avoir détourné des fonds destinés à un enterrement public. Quatre suspects, dont un agent de santé et un gardien de cimetière, ont été arrêtés. L'affaire met en lumière l'absence de réglementation des pratiques funéraires au Kenya, où les hôpitaux sont tenus de se débarrasser des corps non réclamés après 14 jours, mais les comtés manquent de cimetières publics.
