Hearse Returning From Funeral Caught Ferrying Chang’aa in Uthiru, Kabete, Kiambu County.
Police in Uthiru, Kabete, Kiambu County have arrested a hearse driver and his assistant after they were caught transporting illicit brew.
The two were apprehended on Tuesday morning after police in the Western area, where the 59-seater hearse was returning from, voiced concerns that it was transporting brew after the funeral.
The 135 litres of chang’aa brew were packaged in nylon carrier bags and covered in garments inside backpacks, according to police.
Other packages were in a bag sandwiched between dry maize in the compartment meant for the casket while transporting the body for burial.
