Thursday, February 5,
2026 - Grief has engulfed Kinuri Village in Rugi Ward, Mukurweini, as the
family of Charles Wangari holds a painful memorial service without his body
after he was killed in Russia.
Wangari lost his life on Christmas Day while in Russia under
circumstances linked to the ongoing conflict in the region.
Tragically, his body could not be recovered from the
battlefield, denying his family the chance to bring him home for burial.
Instead of a traditional funeral with his remains present,
relatives and friends have been forced to organise a memorial ceremony, an
emotional farewell that has left many struggling to accept the painful reality.
The atmosphere at the family home was sombre as mourners
gathered to pray, sing hymns and comfort one another.
Tears flowed freely as loved ones paid tribute to Wangari’s
life, describing him as hardworking, kind and full of hope for the future.
