Two families of the Lake Nakuru chopper crash victims have agreed to hold a fare well service on February 10 for their missing kins.
Those still missing months after the chopper crashed into the lake are John 'Mapozi' Ndirangu and Sam Gitau.
The two were among five people who were aboard the ill-fated chopper.
Three bodies were recovered and has since been buried.
A family source who cannot be named said the families of Mapozi and Sam held a meeting with several leaders and agencies in Nakuru on Thursday February 1 where it was agreed 'the need to close the matter'.
There have been questions over the intention of those involved in the matter as no DNA has ever been done to the two families after several body parts were recovered at the lake during the recovery mission.
One family believed the parts belong to their kin and wanted a DNA test done and if it matches their departed son, be allowed to give him a decent send off.
"We have been taken into circles, we don't know why they don't want to do a DNA so we know if the parts belong to our son," a source said.
On Thursday, the question on DNA was still lingering in the mind of the families.
"They have told us that the DNA process is still ongoing," our source told this writer.
It is not clear however, why the agencies want a 'lake burial' conducted and the matter 'closed' before the dismembered parts are identified.
