Augustine Mugambi, 31, and his relative brother Kelvin Mutugi, 24, were laid to rest in a heart-wrenching ceremony that united their grieving family and friends in shared sorrow.
The pair lost their lives in a road accident just days earlier, when their bodaboda motorcycle crashed in the Murari area along the Kawanjara-Karurumo-Mate road.
During the joint burial ceremony, family members and villagers gathered to celebrate the lives of Augustine and Kelvin, who were known for their infectious laughter and unwavering support for one another. The decision to combine their eulogies reflected the deep bond they shared, as well as the overwhelming grief that enveloped the family.
“Together in life, together in death,” a family member remarked as tears flowed freely, capturing the essence of their relationship.
As the sun set over Kathugu, the somber mood was punctuated by the cries of mourners, a poignant reminder of the fragility of life. Flowers adorned the gravesite, a symbol of love that would forever remain despite the loss.
