Lawyer Robert Chesang buried without wife’s consent

Pauline Chesang, the wife to slain Robert Chesang, was shocked to realize that her husband was buried in Baringo county against her wish.

Chesang’ was buried after the application by his wife Pauline Omungala through her lawyer Assa Nyakundi to stop the deceased’s parents, siblings and relatives flopped.

The application did not materialize on March 14 after Nyakundi failed to appear in court and the advocate who was holding a brief for him failed to convince the court to give conservatory orders stopping the burial, the matter will be heard on March 28.

Pauline Omungala on Monday 11th asked the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Machakos to block the Chesang’s relatives from burying him without her consent.

Machakos senior principal magistrate Kipchumba Kenei allowed the prosecution to detain her for 27 more days as investigations continue.

In the application before senior principal magistrate Evans Keago, the widow, through advocate Assa Nyakundi, argues that Chesang’s family advertised funeral plans in the media without her consent and made burial arrangements without consulting her as the legal wife.

Chesang’ was buried in his wife, senior principal magistrate Pauline Omungala’s absentia since she has been remanded at Athi River police station in connection with the husband’s murder.
