A Kenyan man was caught exhuming his father\u2019s body\u00a0to retrieve his leather shoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Patrick Mwangi Katonye <\/strong>was caught by members of the public, disinterring the body at around 8:am on Wednesday, October 2, in Maseno\u00a0Village.<\/p>\n

The photo above shows the disturbed grave of his late father Johnson\u00a0Ndonye\u00a0in Subukia, Nakuru County.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Nakuru Police Commander Stephen Matu, the suspect wanted to retrieve a pair of leather shoes his late father Johnson Ndonye was buried with back in 2005. The police commander said the man claimed he wanted to sell the shoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect told the police that he wanted to sell the shoes. He
\nwaited for members of his family to leave the home before exhuming the
\nbody but the shoe was rotten,\u201d said Matu.<\/p>\n

Police arrested Katonye and ordered him to be taken for psychiatric
\ntests before being presented in court where he will be charged for
\ndisturbing the dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is wrong for anybody to exhume the dead. Such can only be done if
\n permission is granted by a court of law. Investigations have therefore
\ncommenced after which the suspect will be arraigned,\u201d added the police
\nboss.<\/p>\n

Matu said the suspect\u2019s family requested the police to allow them to conduct prayers before reburying the body, as it is a taboo to exhume the dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice are liaising with the family and the church to rebury the body. The family requested us to allow them time to conduct some prayers and cleansing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
