Residents of Sinoko Ward in Likuyani Sub-County have been left in shock after a preacher buried his wife in a rather unusual way.
The man of God, Ronald Mwaura, buried his wife without a coffin in a grave that he dug a few years ago.
The pastor conducted a solo burial ceremony before he laid his wife to rest just a day after she had died.
According to locals, it’s the first time they are witnessing such a shocking incident.
“As a community, we see that Shakahola is coming here. The mother is buried without a coffin. The grave itself was not dug deeper. It is a very strange thing to see an old man burying his wife without a coffin, and he does everything for himself. Worship and preaching. It has shocked us,” a resident said.
