Residents of Ndaluni village in Kitui County are trying to come to terms with the shocking revelation that their neighbour has lived with the corpses of his wife and child for three years.
The man, Kitu Munyoki, was yesterday arrested by the police and locked up. It is suspected that the two died at different times, but the husband chose to “store” the bodies claiming that they would resurrect after seven years. He told the police that the child died in 2013 while his wife died in early 2014., When we visited Munyoki at Migwani police station where he is being held, he was composed and answered questions without showing any emotions.
“I was following instructions from my late wife that I should not bury her but wait for seven years as she would resurrect. If it was you who was given such instructions, what would you have done?” he asked.
The macabre discovery was made on Friday when Munyoki’s mother-in-law, Pauline Ndunge, travelled from her Tala home in Machakos County to the village to find out the whereabouts of his daughter.
Ndunge said she communicated with her daughter last in 2013 when she visited the family soon after she had given birth. Since then, all efforts to find out how she was doing were thwarted by Munyoki.
“Whenever I called him and demanded to speak to her, he would claim she had refused to talk to me. He would then disconnect the call,” Ndunge said., On Friday, she called him and he disconnected the call. That irked the mother of 10 and she decided to travel to his home. She first went to Munyoki’s mother’s homestead and the two women visited the man at his home.
On inquiring about the whereabouts of Ndila, Munyoki’s wife, the man urged them to follow him to one of his dilapidated houses which has served as makeshift mortuary. “He opened the door, walked straight in and without flinching, dusted the body of my daughter on the face. He then said, ‘look, here she is, you can talk to her’,” Ndunge said.
At another corner lay the body of the child which was also well preserved. Munyoki and Ndila had been married for 11 years., It is then that the two women, who were on the verge of fainting, informed the area chief who then called the police from Migwani. The officers collected the bodies and took them to Migwani Sub-county Hospital Mortuary.
But more shock awaited Ndunge, Ndila’s mother, when she went to the mortuary to see the two bodies yesterday. “On coming out he (Munyoki) asked me what I had discussed with my daughter. He then demanded I buy him food. Is he normal?” wondered Ndunge., The mortuary attendants were surprised that the man could “expertly” preserve the two bodies for three years.
“This one has beaten us in the game,” said one mortuary attendant., At Munyoki’s home yesterday, neighbours told of a recluse man who kept to himself and never interacted with others.
Hardworking man
“He is a loner but very hardworking man. If you gave him a job, he would complete it within no time,” said Kyome Location Chief Grace Muli who knew Munyoki for years.
At the dilapidated house where Munyoki stayed with his son, a sack full of twigs locally known as Mutaa and a bird’s nest hang on the roof among other weird paraphernalia.
Ndunge is convinced it is Satanism. “This is evil and satanic. I have lived in many parts of this country and I have never seen such madness.”
Munyoki’s mother, Mary Mwalale, said whenever she asked him about his wife, he would claim she had travelled to her rural home in Tala.
“If I insisted, he would get annoyed and ask me what my problem was yet his family was okay. I would leave him alone,” Mwalale said.
She told of how Munyoki and his elder son would threaten to beat her up if she dared go anywhere closer to the shack where the two bodies were stored.
“At one time, his son threatened to beat me up asking why I was pestering them,” she said.
The sad plot thickened three days ago when Munyoki forcibly circumcised his 15-year old son, Kimanzi, using crude weapons, leaving his private organs swollen with loose, rotting hanging skin. The boy is admitted at Migwani Sub-county Hospital where doctors said he is stable. The boy, who has never been to school, appeared to have been brainwashed by his father as he would become angry whenever asked questions., “He told me not to worry about my mother and the child as they were on a journey and would be back,” he said. The boy dons traditional bracelets on the wrists and neck which he claimed were given to him by god. Such bracelets were also found on his mother’s body.
“Don’t touch. God doesn’t want them touched,” Kimanzi fumed when this writer tried to touch the bracelets. Police at Migwani have said they would ask the court tomorrow to grant them more time to investigate the bizarre occurrence.
He must have loved his wife very much!
I read this story on KTN page. But three years without refrigeration? How did he beat the mortuary attendants?
How did he preserve those bodies for 3 years? 
wonders will never cease
Yap… Its mostly out of love.
A man lived with his dead father’s body for up to four months until a neighbour saw him watching television with the skeletal remains.
Kenneth Brown, 94, was placed in his favourite armchair by his son, Timothy, after falling during a fire in his bedroom. Timothy, 59, found the next day that his father had died, but left the body where it was instead of calling 999.
A neighbour dropping in on the house in Stafford on 18 October 2014 spotted the pyjama-clad remains of Kenneth in the armchair by the fire, while his son watched television in the same room. Kenneth had last been seen in April.
The police were called and Timothy was arrested on suspicion of concealing a body and preventing a burial. But the inquest heard he was not charged after detectives decided it was not in the public interest.
In a statement read out at Cannock coroner’s court, the neighbour, who was not named, said: “The back door was open, from the kitchen I could hear the TV was on loudly in the living room. Tim was in there watching TV. I spoke to Tim for a few minutes from the hall, before I opened the door fully. As I looked at the chair, I wasn’t sure what I was looking at. I could see a skull, I was very shocked.”
The inquest heard Timothy had been his father’s sole carer for more than 10 years after his mother passed away in 2004 and that the pair rarely had visitors.
DC Andrew Weatherley of Staffordshire constabulary told the hearing Timothy said there had been a fire in his father’s bedroom in June 2014.
Timothy told officers that he found a smouldering pillow and lots of smoke, so he dragged his father from where he had fallen to his favourite chair in the living room. He said his father brightened up after some soup, but the next day he checked on him and found no signs of life.
Giving evidence, Weatherley said: “Unfortunately, Timothy didn’t call the emergency services. He couldn’t come to terms with the fact his father had passed away. The pair had led a reclusive life together and were very close.
“He had left his father there over the course of several months and just lived with it. He realised he should have reported the death but couldn’t bring himself to do it. There was no obvious motive for him to cause the death of his father and it was decided he should not face criminal charges. At the end of the day, he had lost his father.”
The inquest heard that a postmortem was unable to find a cause of death because of the state of the body when it was found. But it did reveal a number of fractures to Brown’s ribs, which investigators believed were caused by a fall out of bed during the fire.
An investigation found the cause of the fire had been an old portable electric heater, which was in a semi-dismantled state.
Recording an open conclusion, the senior assistant coroner for Staffordshire, Margaret Jones, said: “It is a very sad case indeed. [Timothy] failed to deal with his father’s death appropriately. The pair were very reclusive until the alarm was raised by a neighbour.
“It is not possible for me to conclude that this was an accident, as there is one piece of the jigsaw missing. Kenneth was last seen alive in April and his body was found in October, but because of the decomposition of the body, a cause of death cannot be ascertained.”
egyptians used to do it bc
nothing bizarre in someone falling sick (in the head) after the trauma of losing a loved one…some of us cry, others get depressed, others go into denial. …
Guys stop worrying about body preservation, worry about what he did during dry spell trying times. Too scared to imagine.
^^^^^How your mind went there I don’t know…
Never heard about necrophilia? It’s a fetish just like any other.
Only in Ktalk!
I believe it happens in certain cultures.
