80-year old Elizabeth Targok, mother of the slain wife of former Kakamega District Commissioner Paul Yatich has rejected attempts to bury her daughter until she sees justice done.
The family of the deceased dropped a court injunction to stop the burial ceremony of late Loise Yatich at her husband's home in Talai village, Baringo Central Sub-county on Wednesday.
"No I will not accept anything less than justice. I want all her property including the stolen vehicle brought home and the criminals convicted so my heart would rest" Targok said at her Riwo home, near Kabarbet town on Thursday.
She further calls upon President Uhuru Kenyatta, his Deputy William Ruto and Uasin-Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago to intervene the case.
The lifeless body of Loise was found raped and murdered inside her house at Kiplombe near Eldoret, Uasin-Gishu County on October 16.
So the family moved to court to stop the burial pending investigation into the cause of death of their beloved daughter.
"How can someone be mutilated like a donkey or a dog and some people want to rush to bury just like that...No No I cannot accept that, bring me justice and peace to my heart first" Targok said.
On Wednesday, all funeral arrangements were completed and hundreds of friends and relatives gathered expecting to lay to rest their beloved at the husband's place in Talai.
Althogh the two did not live as husband and wife after separating 10 years ago, Tarus claimed Loise remained his legal wife saying at no point did they divorce after their marriaged
He also denied holding a grudge with her in-laws to warrant the court injunction to block her from being laid to rest.
"We were legally married and we have seven kids, I want to assure my in-laws I am not bitter in any way I only pray that the court case shall soon come to conclusion so we may come together as both families to give madam good sendoff" Yatich said, assuring their normal relationship shall remain intact afterwards.
Yatich further said he earlier had up to three meetings with his in-laws to fix some unresolved issues "but I didn't know none of our discussions bore fruits" he said.
