Magistrate Peter Muholi has today allowed DNA samples to be collected from former Matungu Member of Parliament the late Justus Murunga’s body.
The magistrate order comes after an application from each party to provide their own private pathologist at their own cost.
Wangui and her two children have been allowed to attend the burial and participate in the arrangements.
On Monday, Wangui claimed that Murunga had plans to settle with her and their two children and that they had already bought a piece in Karen and constructions were under way.
“Murunga had also wished we formalise our union before making it known to his family or the public. As a matter of fact, he had wished that the same be conducted in accordance with Agikuyu marriage customs. Unfortunately, death robbed him from us before he could actualize his intentions,” says Wangui.
The DNA test will be done on Friday at 1:30pm at Lee Funeral Home.
Murunga’s body will be released for burial on Saturday, or any other day the family will decide to bury.
