Fear struck villagers at Ebunyanganyi in Navakholo, Kakamega County, after a coffin with three crosses on top was found at the doorstep of one of the residents’ home.
Residents woke up and found a small coffin wrapped in a white woolen piece of cloth at the entrance of Peter Wekondi’s house.
Hundreds of shocked residents flocked Wekondi’s home to witness the weird incident that has become the talk of the village.
Jenipher Masika, a farm worker, was shocked to see the coffin neatly placed at the doorstep of her employer who was still asleep.
“I was going to the farm when I spotted the small casket placed at the main door of the new house. I got scared but gathered courage and woke up family members who were in a separate house.”
Ms Masika said she has never witnessed such a bizarre incident in her life. “Everyone was afraid to move near the coffin,” she told journalists.
Wekondi’s wife, Jackeline Oteng’o, said they were waiting for her husband to be discharged from the hospital before moving into the new house.
According to Ms Oteng’o, it was difficult to determine the motive behind the dumping of the coffin in the home.
“When the worker informed us about the coffin, it sounded like a joke. But we were shocked when we saw it,” she said.
“We shall conduct special prayers and a ceremony to exorcise evil spirits before occupying the house given what has befallen us,” she added.
