Four attackers stormed the Garissa University before three of them were shot dead by police and the fourth attacker blew himself up.

Hundreds of residents including children took to the streets in April, 2015 to see the corpses which were piled on top of each other face down in the back of a pickup truck.

The decomposing and naked bodies of the suspected terrorists were driven on a pickup vehicle from Garissa Referral Hospital to the Garissa Primary School playground.

The pickup truck drove down the main street in Garissa as some of the angry residents threw stones at the bodies as they passed.

A local police chief Benjamin Ong’ombe said that the naked bodies of the slain terrorists were paraded to enable local residents in Garissa identify them.

“The intention was not a parade but rather for public identification so that if anyone can recognize them whether they are a relative or someone who knows them,” said Mr Ong’ombe as quoted by Capital FM. 

The attack on Garissa University situated near the border with Somalia claimed 148 lives including 142 students, three police officers and three soldiers.

Five men were also arrested in connection with the attack.
