The deceased's body was discovered hanging in a neighbour's farm in what police believe was suicide.

A burial ceremony in Murang'a County descended into chaos after an angry mob disrupted the funeral of a man who died by suicide, seized his body and torched two homes belonging to people suspected of having been involved in the events leading to his death.

The incident occurred at Thingithu village in Geitwa Sub-location, Mugeka Location, during the burial of James Mathu Wangui, who was found dead on July 17 after allegedly taking his own life by hanging.

According to preliminary police reports, the mob, believed to have travelled from Nyeri County's Mukurweini Sub-county, stormed the burial ceremony, seized the coffin containing the deceased's body and transported it to Geitwa Police Post, where they dumped it before dispersing.
