The recovery of bodies from the tragic fire at Hillside Endarasha Academy has begun, following the arrival of homicide detectives who took over the scene to retrieve the remains.
According to reports from the academy, a team led by homicide officer Martin Nyuguto has cordoned off the site, restricting access, even to the media, as they begin the delicate process of recovering the bodies of students who perished in the dormitory fire.
The recovery team, which includes both detectives and morticians, arrived at the site early at 9 a.m. They held a morning briefing to coordinate the day’s operations, which primarily focused on recovering the bodies still trapped in the dormitory.
Mr. Nyuguto, while not revealing all the details, hinted at some crucial activities that the team would undertake, signaling that the forensic experts would be retrieving more bodies today.
