14 unidentified bodies that were pulled from the River Yala in the first quarter of 2022 were disposed of, according to KNCHR.
The rights organization, however, admitted on Friday that it is unaware of the location or timing of the burials.
Roseline Odede, chair of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, stated shortly after meeting the Siaya Criminal Investigations Officer that the bodies were destroyed in accordance with a court order.
"I don't know but disposing of bodies is done under the Public Order Act by the public health department. I am sure the order can be found at the court's registry," Odede said.
However, only 13 bodies were recognized by DNA analysis and given to families for burial.
14 unidentified bodies had been left at the Yala morgue, the investigating officials told the public.
But questions over whether they had ever been interred grew.
Odede also denied earlier reports made by Bruno Okal, the medical director of Yala Subcounty Hospital, that seven more remains had been found in the River Yala and on its banks.
She agreed with Bruno Shiosho, a police spokeswoman, who had previously disputed Okal's prior assertions.
Okal had reported seven bodies found in the River Yala had been dropped off at the preservation facility on Monday.
Shiosho, however, said that only two remains had been found, with the third being a person believed to have committed suicide by drowning.
Seven unidentified dead, according to Odede, Okal, and Shiosho, are reportedly present in the Yala morgue.
One of the seven bodies at the mortuary, according to earlier records, was pulled from the river in December 2021, according to Odede.
She did not, however, elaborate on why the body discovered in December of last year was not buried with the other 14.
According to Odede, KNCHR is pleased that no other bodies have been discovered in River Yala.
She urged the DCI to expedite inquiries in order to allay the concerns of missing person's families.
