Tuesday January 22, 2019 - Conflicting details have emerged over how police handled the body of Al Shabaab terrorist, Ali Salim Gichunge, who was among the five terrorists, who were killed when they staged a terrorist attack at DusitD2 hotel.
According to a city mortuary attendant, Gichunge’s body stayed with the police until Friday but the other terrorists’ bodies were brought on Wednesday, immediately after the attack.
Mr Gichunge’s body was taken to the mortuary by a Police Constable identified as Mr Ochieng’ in police car registration number GKB 698B which is attached to the Kileleshwa Police Post.
Initial reports had indicated that Mr Gichunge might have escaped from the Dusit D2 Hotel lending credence to speculation that the police might have arrested him elsewhere contrary to an earlier statement that all the militants had been killed at the scene of crime.
Meanwhile, senior police officers are camping at the morgue to establish if anyone will come along to claim the bodies of the terrorists.
