    https://nation.africa/ One week after a man who was presumed dead returned home to find a body believed to be his already buried, the family is is in shock.

    On Tuesday last week, Loire village in the outskirts of Mutuati market woke up to a shocker when Abdalla Mwenda Suleiman, who was presumed dead, suddenly reappeared.

    Mwenda, 20, a miraa picker, was ‘buried’ on Friday, October 4 after the family ‘positively’ identified a body that was found in a house he used to live with his enstranged wife at Mutuati market.

    “Since my work is picking miraa, I move from one place to another and I am rarely at home. I'm shocked to find that my family buried me,” said Mwenda in dismay.

    The burial site is on a parcel of land that sits by Mutuati-Antubetwe Kiongo Road, and the graveyard can be seen from the tarmac.
