A funeral in Kaharati Village, Murang’a County, turned chaotic after four men allegedly spiked a communal dish with excessive pilipili (chili) meant to be shared among 24 mourners.
Witnesses say the men, tasked with serving food, intentionally over-seasoned one portion, rendering it inedible for most attendees in the funeral due to the pepperπΆ️
Their actions were allegedly motivated by a desire to hoard the food for themselves.
Tensions rose when the mourners, predominantly elderly individuals and children, began complaining of unbearable spiciness.
An elder in the crowd demanded an explanation, but the four men laughed off the complaints, sparking outrage.
A physical altercation ensued, with the men receiving a thorough beating from angry mourners before local authorities intervened.
Police officers arrested the men, who now face charges of disorderly conduct and food tampering.
Speaking to the press, a funeral organizer expressed disappointment, condemning the men's selfish actions as a breach of cultural respect during solemn occasions.
The incident has sparked a wider debate about funeral etiquette and the role of selflessness in communal settings as netizens on the social media hilariously reacted.
Mourners emphasized the importance of unity during such moments, vowing to ensure stricter measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
