Tears, anger and chaos engulfed Kakoth village in Homa Bay as the body of slain teacher Albert Ojwang arrived home yesterday for burial Friday.
The raw anger that politicians had tried to contain by offering freebies to his family and calls for calm, erupted as the body reached the quiet village shortly after 1pm.
Thousands of mourners, overwhelmed with emotion, demanded that the body be handed to them so that they could take it to Mawego National Polytechnic.
But the family objected to their demands and pleaded with them to allow them to take the body to Nyawango Primary School, which had been picked as the body viewing venue.
