Trouble in De'Mathew's paradise: Widows in bitter fight over property

During the burial of the celebrated king of benga musician John Mwangi Ng'ang'a, popularly known as John De'Mathew, many are those who marveled at his widows' public display of affection. Sabina Wairimu alias Sarafina DeMathew and Caroline Waithera put up a show of solidarity and love throughout the mourning period, during and after the burial ceremony.
Holding each other's shoulders, the two talked nicely about each other. They claimed one could call the other to inquire about their husband's whereabouts in case he got late in returning home.

"Caroline has respected me, and we don't want anyone to come between us. Our children live together in harmony and nothing will change after our husband's death," Sarafina said at the burial ceremony attended by former President Uhuru Kenyatta and President William Ruto, then the Deputy President.
After the burial, the two could appear in public events wearing similar dresses. They even jointly released a song to celebrate their dead husband.
However, it was all meant to deceive the public for soon, the curse that visits families once the family patriarchy passes on set in. That the two did not get along together came to light in August last year.
