Everything was set for a dowry payment ceremony. The venue would be the home of Damaris Kimanthi at Kathome village in Kitui Rural Constituency. She was expecting the family of Makau Mulwa, who has married her daughter Victoria Mueni.

On the other hand, in Mulundi village in Kitui Central, Richard Mulwa Makau and his wife Malia were waiting for their son’s wife Mueni to arrive from Nairobi so they could make a journey to their in-laws home. This was on June 9.
