Dozens of bodies found in Kericho grave shock investigators Large number of bodies uncovered Authorities in western Kenya have recovered about 32 bodies from a mass grave in Kericho. The dead include seven adults and 25 children, most of them infants and foetuses. Investigators also found scattered body parts at the site. The discovery started after police received a court order to dig up 14 suspected graves. A whistleblower later led them to a much larger burial site. Bodies found in sacks and unusual conditions A government pathologist, Richard Njoroge, said the scene raised many questions. He noted that several bodies were found inside sacks, which is not normal for burials. He also said the condition of the remains was not the same. Some were badly decomposed, while others were more preserved. This suggests they may have been buried at different times. Officials believe some bodies could have come from hospitals or mortuaries, but this still needs confirmation. Questions over burial process and location Investigators are now trying to understand how the bodies ended up on land linked to the National Council of Churches of Kenya. The organisation has denied any involvement and said the burial was done without approval. Early findings from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations show that 13 unclaimed bodies were released from a hospital in Nyamira County and taken for burial. However, this does not explain the extra bodies found at the site. Arrests and ongoing investigation Police have arrested a public health officer and a cemetery caretaker. Several other people are being questioned as the investigation continues. Human rights groups have called the discovery deeply disturbing. They are demanding a full and transparent investigation. Legal experts are also urging authorities to identify the victims as quickly as possible so families can get answers. Links to earlier mass deaths in Kenya This case has brought back memories of a similar tragedy in 2023 in the Shakahola forest near Malindi. Hundreds of bodies were found there in connection with a religious cult case. Authorities continue to investigate whether there is any wider pattern behind these recent discoveries.

Possible Discovery of Musketeer d’Artagnan Relics Under Dutch Church Important Find In Church In Maastricht Archeologists in Maastricht, Netherlands, believe they may have found relics of the famed Musketeer d’Artagnan, buried under the floor of a church. Located at St. Peter and Paul Church, the skeleton was located after a broken tile prompted the workers to investigate further. Jos Valke, a deacon at the church, explained that the team first saw the tile and its surrounding area was broken. They decided to investigate the area, and after some further excavation, they noticed a wall. As they continued to excavate, they uncovered the remains. An archaeologist was called to the site to complete the excavation process. Hints Regarding the Remains And d’Artagnan Numerous pieces of the puzzle found at the site of the remains have intrigued researchers. The skeleton was found directly under the altar, which was at the church about 200 years ago. Places of this nature are believed to be of significant importance for burial. The following items were recovered near the remains: A musket ball, believed to be the shot that caused the death A 1660 coin which is believed to have been used in a church service for Louis XIV Jos Valke believes these are compelling reasons to support the hypothesis that the remains are of Charles de Batz de Castelmore, popularly known as d’Artagnan. d’Artagnan was a military aide to King Louis XIV. He mentioned that the team became silent when the initial bones were found, as the discovery seemed important. Scientific Testing Still Underway. Experts continue to proceed with caution. Archaeologist Wim Dijkman stated that the evidence is promising, but the confirmation is not complete. He stated that the DNA testing is currently being processed in Germany. Further analysis on the bones in Deventer will provide information on the age, sex, and the geographical source of the bones. Having spent close to 30 years investigating the possible burial site, Dijkman claimed that it was a great moment in his career, but he emphasized the need for scientific certainty.

Iberian Lynx hunting photo wins Wildlife Photographer 2026 The Wildlife Photographer of the year People's Choice Award for 2026 was won by a powerful image of an Iberian young lynx. This photo by Austrian Photographer Josef Stefan, entitled Flying Rodent quickly gained popularity amongst nature enthusiasts worldwide. Stefan captured the photo during a trip of two weeks to Torre de Juan Abad, in Spain's Ciudad Real. He spent days in the hide waiting for a moment that was rare and captivating. A Rare Hunting Moment Captured It appeared with its prey, and started tossing the rodent into the air. The lynx caught the mouse in mid-flight several times, creating an almost surreal and dramatic scene. The lynx was focused for nearly 20 minutes on his unusual behavior. It would stand on its back legs at times and be fully involved in hunting. Stefan said that the movements made the mouse look like it was in flight. When the lynx stopped being interested, it ended in silence. The lynx ate the prey out of view, after carrying it behind a bush. Iberian Lynx - From Near Extinction To Recovery Iberian Lynxes are among the most rare wildcats on the planet. The species was close to extinction in the early 2000s when fewer than one hundred individuals were left. The population of the sandhill crane has grown from a few hundred to more than 2,000 thanks to conservation efforts and reintroduction. The species remains vulnerable despite this. Record Votes and Recognition Globally The competition was a record-breaker, as 85,917 wildlife enthusiasts from around the world voted. Four other images were also named as finalists and received praise along with the winning photograph. The Natural History Museum, London will display all selected images online until the 12th of July 2026. The Finalists' Other Amazing Images Polar Bear Family Relaxing Christopher Paetkau's touching image of a mother and her three cubs resting along the Hudson Bay coastline was captured by photographer Christopher Paetkau. Polar bears are struggling to hunt as the sea ice is shrinking, but some have shown signs of adaptation. The Flamingos of an Industrial Landscape Alexandre Brisson captured lesser flamingos under the power lines in Walvis Bay at sunset. The contrast of nature with industry was enhanced by two birds in flight. Bear Cubs on the Road Will Nicholls caught two cubs playing together in Jasper National Park (Canada). These moments are very rare as the mothers tend to hide their cubs. Deer's Hardy Survival Story Kohei Ngira captured a dramatic scene of the sika deer carrying a rival's head after an argument in Japan. This animal was left to survive the winter on its own. Photographing Wildlife That Tells A Story The images show both the beauty of the natural world and its harsh realities. The photographs offer a look into the world of the wild animals, and their challenges.
