Relief for a family as they are about to bury their mother who died five years ago.
The body of a woman, which has been lying at a Machakos mortuary, will finally be buried after a court ruled that she died of natural causes.
The court stopped Beatrice Syokau Kathumba’s burial twice over circumstances surrounding her death, local daily reports.
The woman died at Kenyatta National Hospital on July 4, 2014.
An inquest was then formed following reports that she was abducted and poisoned.
Chief Magistrate Heston Nyaga Monday said he had no reason to doubt medical experts’ reports.
“They concurred on the findings of her death. The evidence of yet another doctor confirmed that Syokau was a long time patient. Nobody can be held responsible for her death,” Mr Nyaga said.
The twist started when the slain woman is said to have a land around Kenyatta University which is worth billions.
The next of kin were shocked to learn that even people they didn’t ‘know’ were among the planners of the burial.
