On a Saturday morning, the citizens of Kenya were taken aback by distressing news surrounding the tragic demise of socialite Starlet Wahu. She happened to be the sister of Pastor Victor Kanyari.
According to reports, Wahu was found murdered in an AirBnB residence in the South B neighborhood. The nature of her death pointed to a brutal knife attack, and CCTV footage captured a man entering the room with her.
In an unexpected turn of events, the family chose to hold the burial for the 24-year-old beauty on the same Saturday, just hours after her untimely passing. This sudden sequence of actions left many on social media bewildered, with numerous questions arising about the urgency of the funeral before the completion of investigations.
Speculations circulated, suggesting a possible attempt to conceal certain details, especially considering the Kanyari family’s unfamiliarity with Islamic principles, a faith known for its swift burial practices.
The burial ceremony for Wahu occurred on Saturday afternoon at the family’s Kamulu farm in Nairobi County, attended mainly by close family members.
The swift burial sparked a range of reactions from Kenyans on various platforms, reflecting their surprise and concerns:
Benson Mwiti remarked, “I’m curious to see how the eulogy was written, please.”
Polo Kimanii commented, “Such speed; I thought she had passed away just yesterday or the day before.”
Musau Eric questioned, “The rapidity is suspicious; what could they be trying to conceal from us?”
Wangui Macharia observed, “It seems like they’re attempting to salvage their reputation, but unfortunately, they’re too late.”
Ian Ogwa Ketenyi emphasized, “This highlights that funerals should be private family affairs, not chaotic or public. A dignified farewell, where decorum does not equate to extravagance.”
Duncan Kenya concluded, “Let this be a lesson that the value of life is truly appreciated when one is alive.”
