A funeral procession in Igembe, Meru county, faced a tumultuous journey transporting their deceased relative to the final resting place. The convoy of vehicles meant for the transport broke down multiple times under unclear circumstances. The initial breakdown occurred early Wednesday as the main vehicle carrying the body stopped. Despite transferring the body to a second vehicle, it too broke down halfway to the burial site. Struggling with continuous breakdowns, the procession delayed the scheduled Wednesday burial until 7 pm.
To compound the ordeal, the fourth vehicle, a 14-seater Nissan, chosen to complete the journey, was reportedly involved in an accident, causing damage to the casket. A video captured family members, gloved up, transferring the remains to another coffin at the Muuruta area along the Meru-Maua road.
Photographs revealed the broken and empty coffin after the accident. Fortunately, no additional injuries were reported. The shocking incident led to various speculations among the funeral procession and onlookers, trying to make sense of the unusual occurrences. Senior Chief Mathew Aburuki confirmed the incident, stating that the family discussed the situation with traffic police and decided to take the body to a nearby mortuary at St John Mission hospital morgue. Eventually, the deceased’s brother picked up the body in his private car, concluding the day’s dramatic events with a smooth journey to the burial site.
