The burial of Ivy Wangechi is currently underway at her parent’s home in Mahiga, Nyeri County.
Wangechi’s body is to be laid to rest 10 days after her gruesome murder on April 9 outside the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH), Eldoret.
Several leaders including Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria are in attendance.
Her alleged killer, Naftali Kinuthia, is said to have accosted the 6th year medical student and hacked her to death with an axe.
An irate mob consequently descended on Kinuthia but was rescued by the police. He reportedly told investigators that she rejected his advances.
On Wednesday, activists and women leaders held a candlelit vigil at the Nyeri Central Business District in honour of Wangechi and condemned the rise in violence against women.
Here are some of the photos from Wangechi’s burial ceremony.
