The burial ceremony of a terror attack victim was disrupted when his grandfather barred mourners from accessing the final resting place.

A standoff occurred at the homestead of Daniel Wang'ombe after his daughter, Mary Nyawira, secretly collected her son's body from the Nyeri County Referral Hospital mortuary and took it to the father's compound in Honi village, Nyeri County.
