Relief as Ruth Matete finally buries late husband

Ruth Matete has heaved a sigh of relief after a prolonged dispute that saw her give up on her husband’s body for burial.

Fortunately, after the long hustle, Belovedjohn Apewajoye’s burial is currently ongoing at Nairobi’s Langata cemetery.

This is after a family spokesperson revealed that Matete today morning picked her husband’s body for burial.

The good news comes weeks after a public appeal from Ruth Matete to assist her in footing mortuary bills that had ballooned over the 3 months her husband’s body was being held back for investigations.

Hopefully, it has all been settled and her late husband can finally rest. Meanwhile, she is expecting her first child with Pastor Belovedjohn.

Relatives and friends of the late Belovedjohn were however not able to make it, basing on the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions.
