Residents of Gatei Village in Mathira Constituency are alarmed after a man was buried on his step-brother’s property in a secret ceremony that has left relatives and neighbours in shock.

On Wednesday, May 25, a group of about 15 men walked into Joshua Kariuki’s farm and dug a grave, where they lowered the casket of his brother, Cornelius Gachemi.
