A statement by the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) indicated that the bodies were mutilated, similar to those recovered yesterday.
According to the KHRC, eight bodies were retrieved from the pit yesterday. Today's additional discoveries bring the number to at least twelve, with residents fearing there could be more.
