Mwanza. The Nyamagana District Court has ordered that the disputed burial of a fisherman who died last week be done at his ancestral village after an out-of-court settlement between his family and his first wife.
Wambura Mambya who died at 54, will now be buried in Mihingo Village, Bunda District, Mara Region, instead of the home of his second wife, according to the order issued on Thursday, July 30, 2026, by Principal Resident Magistrate Chrescencia Mushi, who said the agreement reached by both parties was in line with the family's customary burial practices.
"The court orders that the deceased be buried in Mihingo Village, Bunda District, Mara Region," Ms Mushi ruled.
