Africa-Press – Kenya. Authorities in Kenya are to exhume the body of a British tourist who died two years ago at the home of a controversial cult leader.
Luftunisa Kwandwalla was buried in August 2020 at a cemetery in the coastal city of Mombasa after reportedly dying of natural causes.
She arrived in Kenya as a tourist in August 2019 but her return to the UK was delayed due to lockdowns imposed in Kenya and Britain during the Covid pandemic.
Her family says she then joined a controversial cult in Mombasa.
The family alleges the 44-year-old was murdered and her body buried quickly to hide evidence.
Last week it obtained court orders for the exhumation to allow for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the cause of death.
The family told the BBC that the autopsy would be the first step in bringing closure on her death.
No-one has been arrested in connection with the death and police records show that there are currently no active investigations.
