The bodies of two children who went missing last month were recovered from the boot of a car parked inside Athi River police station where they had been reported missing.

On Tuesday, the puzzle of the missing minors was unraveled when a businessman who went to pick his vehicle from the Athi-River Police Station reported a foul smell coming from the car.

The vehicle had been detained for the last three months at the Athi River Police station, where the case of the missing children was reported.
