Last month two bodies were found dumped in Ngumbi forest off the Limuru-Mai Mahiu road and taken to Naivasha subcounty hospital mortuary.
The family positively identified one of the bodies as that of Gicheche.
A postmortem was conducted on November 5 before the body was buried.
Gicheche later said that all along he had been working as a casual labourer at Longonot trading center and was not aware of his ‘death’.
