Ivy Wangechi, the Moi University medical student killed last week, was buried at her family home in Mahiga, Nyeri County yesterday, where speakers called on young people to learn how to handle rejection.

The killing of Ivy sparked off a conversation over increasing cases where women are being attacked and some killed by lovers.
