Villagers hurl stones at serial killer’s grave

Kisumu, Kenya: Serial killer Harrison Okumu, who was last month strangled to death by inmates at Kisumu’s Kodiaga Maximum Prison, was buried Saturday in his home in Rabuor, Kisumu County under police watch.

A grave was quickly dug and the casket lowered, but before the grave was covered, about 300 people threw stones at the coffin to mark the Luo tradition of exorcising bad spirits associated with the wrongs committed by the dead. Not even relatives eulogised him.
