The family of one of the KDF soldiers attacked in El-Adde, on Wednesday, got phone calls from the number the soldier was using in Somalia.
This happened as Mr Salesio Rinu’s family from Twale village in Meru filled the grave where Corporal David Gitonga 35, was to be buried on Saturday.
Plans to bury the soldier Gitonga hit a snag last week when the family was told that DNA samples did not match the body they had earlier identified.
