The helicopter carrying the casket landed at the institute where mourners, leaders, and relatives had gathered to receive the remains.
Sergeant-at-arms officers carefully offloaded the casket as family members watched in sorrow, bringing a solemn atmosphere to the institution grounds.
Authorities confirmed that the bodies of the other victims involved in the crash were also flown to the institute, except that of pilot George Were.
After the brief reception, the bodies were scheduled to be transported by road to Dikirr for the second requiem mass as preparations for the final send-off continued.
Several leaders were present to receive the bodies and stand in solidarity with the bereaved families. Among them were Patrick Ole Ntutu and Jackson Mandago, who joined other regional leaders, relatives, and residents in paying their respects.
The arrival of the bodies drew crowds of mourners who gathered quietly to witness the moment and honour the lives lost in the tragic incident. Many expressed grief while offering prayers and comfort to the affected families.
The transfer of the bodies to Dikirr is part of the ongoing funeral arrangements as family members, leaders, and residents continue preparations for the requiem mass and the eventual burial ceremonies for the victims.
