A sales lady has been charged before Nairobi court for allegedly stealing coffins from a funeral services company.
Maureen Khikani is said to have stolen two coffins valued at Sh90,000 and 26 coffin handles valued at Sh117,000 by the virtue of employment.
According to the prosecution, Khikani committed the offence on dates between May 12, 2022, and May 7, 2023, at St Augustine Funeral Services at Kenyatta Market.
