A family in Busia created a scene on Thursday after storming Port Victoria Hospital mortuary and took off with the body of their keen that had been detained for two months.
The Busia Magistrate Court had barred the burial of Paul Abulweyi on a disputed land that he called home in Budalangi.
The son of the deceased, George Asembo whole responding to the act, said that they all wanted to give their father a befitting sendoff.
He said the morgue had agreed to release the body on Monday but changed this on the last minute.
“We had settled the mortuary bill and even purchased clothes for my father in readiness for his burial on Monday,” said Asembo.
He said the morgue attendant however told them it was not safe to take the body on Monday. He urged them to come at 4 am on Tuesday. But on Tuesday, he was nowhere to be seen.
The family was kept in waiting for the better part of the day on Tuesday. Their patience ran out and they decided to storm the cold room, dressed the body, put it in a casket and left with it.
Asembo said the guard at the gate denied them exit when they became hostile. The guard ran away leaving the gate locked.
“We had no option but to jump over the gate with the body in the casket,” said a relative.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
