A family in Migori county had plans for the burial of a man, Wilson Oluoch whom they had presumed dead following a long search that proved not successful but after they found a body with clothes resembling his in a sugar plantation they believed Oluoch was dead.
As they were in the final touches of burial preparation the mother received a strange call and the caller claimed to have an important message.
"Are you still planning to burry your son Wilson? Please stop it. He is here at a bar and is very drunk," said the caller.
It is then that the family of Oluoch realised that they had picked the wrong body while their 30-year old son, was out boozing away from his bodaboda business proceed.
"We could not believe it until he staggered home the following morning that was when we confirmed he was still alive," said his wife, Violet Awour.
However, one week later the family is still in agony after Oluoch disappeared again.
