A body of a woman was on Monday recovered in the thicket of the vast Shakahola Forest during the search and rescue operation by the police.
Police officers are still stumbling upon dead bodies strewn in the forest after the exhumation exercise was stopped to pave the way for post-mortem.
The death toll has now hit 242. Another victim was also rescued on Monday, bringing the number to 93.
Police have also carried out 79 autopsies in three days out of 129 that had been scheduled.
Last week alone five skeletons of people believed to be followers who died and decomposed were recovered from the forest.
So far postmortem is still going on and is expected to be complete on Wednesday this week so that the team embarks on the third phase of exhumation.
On Monday the detectives and pathologists conducting postmortem managed to do 34 autopsies of bodies exhumed from Shakahola.
Speaking during the daily briefing at the Malindi Subcounty Hospital, chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor said the bodies comprised 21 females and 10 male, while for three bodies, sex or gender could not be determined because they were badly decomposed.
"We were unable to determine the causes of death for 20 of the bodies but twelve had features of starvation," he said.
Oduor said the team found that 32 of the bodies were severely decomposed, while two of them were moderately decomposed.
The pathologist said they found that being that many were very badly decomposed, they were unable to get the cause of death in 22 of them while in 12 of them they found features which looked like of starvation.
"Since many of the bodies were unidentifiable, we took samples for further tests which the Government Chemist would use for DNA purposes so they can be identified," he said.
The exercise is likely to end this week to so that phase three of the exhumation begins.
