For four years the 89-year-old grand mother was held captive, duped into granting power of attorney to total strangers.Even in death, the childless billionaire squatter, Beatrice Syokau Kathumba is still a prisoner five years after she died. This is the third time the burial is being stopped because 'strangers’ were planning the ceremony. On March 22, Joseph Wambua, the chief of Mitaboni location in Kathiani wrote a letter permitting a group that has been organising Syokau’s burial as long as law and order was maintained. When we called the chief, he said that the planners had not communicated to him about the burial. A few days before the inquest was concluded, Litha and Amina’s petition to National Land Commission’s historical injustices department was decided where their claim for 60,000 acres of JKIA land was rejected.
