Lamu woman lawmaker Marubu Muthoni made funeral guests laugh Friday when she said she might marry one of the dead MP Were's sons. She told the crowd MP Were had shown her his two boys, close to her age. She showed her empty ring finger to Raila Odinga, saying she would welcome his son if sent to Parliament. The crowd roared as she walked off stage after her bold statement.
Muthoni praised Were as a man who cared for his family. She said he always stood up for women's rights. MP Were once asked why men keep lovers instead of making them wives. Gunmen shot MP Were near City Mortuary on April 30 around 7:30 p.m. He had asked police for help before his death because someone had followed him.
Police caught ten people, but think more suspects remain free. They found the gun that fired five bullets into the lawmaker. Officers call the murder a planned ahead of time. Police keep looking for everyone who helped kill the MP. The case stays active as they search for all those involved.
