For nearly five years, Eunice Nyambura endured a lingering pain that refused to fade: her husband’s body remained locked away in a mortuary because the family could not afford to settle a hospital bill.
That long nightmare finally ended on Wednesday when the High Court in Nakuru ordered the immediate release of the remains of Humphrey Kigera Mwai, bringing relief and closure to a family that had almost lost hope.
Speaking outside the Umash Funeral Home, where the body has been preserved since October 2021, Nyambura said the court ruling had lifted a heavy burden.
“We have suffered for a long time knowing my husband’s body was still in the morgue. It has been painful and stressful for the entire family. Now I will finally have peace,” she said.
