A family in Nakuru found living with Kin’s decomposing body for three weeks expecting resurrection.
Police in Nakuru are investigating a couple who had their sister’s decaying body in their home for three weeks.
Rosemary Wahu was last seen alive on January 29 of this year, according to family members who spoke with the police.
Her body was found in a rotting state in her brother’s home on Wednesday morning.
News of a 60-year-old woman’s decomposing body found in her brother’s home for three weeks startled the residents of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in Nakuru East.
David Kinyanjui, his wife and their 2-year-old daughter lived in the same house but remained silent about Rosemary’s death before family members stormed the home on Wednesday seeking answers into her whereabouts.
“Tulipiga simu hapa nje tukakaa hadi 40 minutes, tukaingia bibi akasema tuombe tukaomba ndio akasema twende tuone mwili wa mama yetu,” said a family member Gachoka Kanyone.
The deceased’s son Boniface Mwania added: “Auntie akaomba akaomba akasema kuna mwili imekufa hapa itafufuka…tukashangaa heeeeh.”
The visit by the family members confirmed their worst fears that their mother Wahu was no more.
Her decomposing body was lying in one of the bedrooms.
Residents could not bear the stench emanating from the house as the bizarre incident had them perturbed.

The couple, Kinyanjui and his wife were rescued from an irate mob by police officers who whisked them away.
The two are being interrogated by detectives from the directorate of criminal investigations in Nakuru East.
“We have launched investigations for now we are interrogating the two persons,” said Nakuru East Sub County Police Commander Mohammed Wako.
The family is seeking answers as to why the couple lived with the decomposing body. An autopsy is set to be conducted to ascertain the cause of death.
