In order to learn more about a British tourist who passed away two years ago, Kenyan police will exhume her remains on Wednesday.
Ms. Luftunisa Kwandwalla, 44, a native of Leicester in the UK, passed away in August 2020 in the Mombasa, Kenya, home of a notorious cult leader.
Although cardiac arrest was first given as the cause of death, her family believes she was killed and her corpse was buried swiftly to hide the evidence. A Kenyan court gave the family permission to do an autopsy to determine whether she was killed earlier this month.
In the presence of some of her family members, the corpse will be unearthed on Wednesday afternoon, and an autopsy will be performed later in the day.
In August 2019, Ms. Kwandwalla traveled from the UK to Kenya to see her husband’s relatives. A coronavirus lockdown prohibited her from traveling back to Leicester, where she lived, even though she was scheduled to return to the UK many months later.
Her family claims that she unintentionally joined a contentious cult in the seaside city at that time. The woman’s family alleges that she was later killed at the residence of a reclusive Muslim preacher who was charged with leading a clandestine cult.
