DEAD MAN’S FAMILY DID NOT WANT GIRLFRIEND’S PANTIES IN THE COFFIN

In Mutare, Zimbabwe, police officers had to intervene to facilitate the burial of 21-year-old Carlton Mutseketerwa, who died last week after he was hit by a vehicle. The woman he had been living with, Patricia, wanted to put her underwear in the coffin with him. He relatives claimed it was a ritual meant to ensure that the deceased husband’s spirit does not follow the woman, so she can get married in the future and move on with her life. While at the graveyard, Patricia’s relatives opened the coffin and placed her undies inside. His relatives refused to go ahead with the burial. A fight ensued between the two families, with the coffin being lowered into the grave and retrieved four times. On a number of occasions, the coffin was opened as the deceased’s relatives took out the undergarment but Patricia’s relatives would put them back. It was only after armed police were called that the panties were finally removed and the burial process went ahead.
* C’mon, let the man be buried with a smile.
