It was the ‘first and last’ kiss for Lamu OCPD who died on his wedding day

The late Lamu sub-county police commander Rev Samuel Nyawa Murinzi, 50, who succumbed to Covid-19 last week, fell ill minutes before he could cut his wedding cake. Their beautiful wedding was held on August 28. However, after they had just finished taking wedding vows and  the pastor  declared them husband and wife, Murinzi started complaining of chest pains and breathing difficulties.

After the couple’s first kiss, which apparently become the last, Murinzi struggled to walk and talk.
“After he fell ill, he was rushed to a private hospital in Kinango town where he was (mis) diagnosed with malaria. He was given anti-malaria tabs and discharged,” said a family member.
