Thursday, May 28, 2026 - Confusion and drama surrounded the burial arrangements of the late Kikuyu gospel singer, Rachel Wandeto, following a heated dispute between her husband and in-laws.
According to reports, Rachel’s body was not released from
the funeral home after her husband reportedly refused to issue the burial
permit, despite earlier agreements between him and the family.
Sources indicate that the mini hearse left the mortuary
empty and headed to Kirinyaga for the planned burial ceremony, leaving mourners
shocked and confused.
Rachel’s death attracted nationwide attention after she
succumbed to severe acid burns following an attack by unknown people.
Prior to the attack, she had tattooed President William
Ruto’s face on her body, a move that sparked widespread reactions online.
President Ruto is also said to have donated Ksh 1.6 million towards the funeral arrangements, with reports indicating that the donation may have fueled the dispute among family members.
