Not just yet! Why Ruth Matete’s husband’s burial has been put on hold
Image: Ruth Matete with Belovedjohn ApewajoyeGospel singer, Ruth Matete has been barred from sending off her husband after investigations were left open for any interested parties.
In a new directive, the police have declared investigations into the death of Ruth Matete’s husband still ongoing.
What this means is that the late Apewajoye’s burial will have to be delayed until the probe into his death is concluded.
The Homicide unit said they welcome any other evidence that may offer contrary possibilities to the untimely death of the Nigerian pastor.
A Homicide Unit official urged individuals with additional information on the probe, to come forward and record their statements.
Just like in an inquest, this probe will remain open. Let those who have any other information come and share we analyse it for action.
At least 10 witnesses had so far recorded statements with the police, in regard to the March 30th incident.
Autopsy
Ruth Matete heaved a sigh of relief on the 23rd of April after postmortem results indicated her husband succumbed due to complications suffered, including sepsis and multiple organ failure.
“(Apewajoye) died because of mixed degree burns estimated at 60 per cent” stated Government chief pathologist, Dr Johansen Oduor.
Adding:
In burns, what kills are the complication that arise. In this case there was sepsis, multiple organ failure and all that.
This seemingly dismissed earlier allegations filed against the gospel singer, accusing her of hiding details regarding her husband’s demise.
Allegations
Mr Apewajoye’s claimed manager and friend, Jessy Mc Jessiey exposed the former Tusker Project Fame winner of being violent towards her late husband.
This saw the Nigerian High Commission get involved in the case, additionally putting on hold the deceased’s burial until the Nigerian government gives a go-ahead.
Something that Ruth Matete’s lawyer, Robert Adanga termed ‘unfair’.
Meanwhile, the late Belovedjohn Apewajoye’s body is being preserved at the Kenyatta National Hospital’s mortuary.
