A salesperson in Nairobi, Kenya has been accused of stealing two coffins and 26 coffin handles, as reported by local sources.

Maureen Khikani, who used to work at St Augustine Funeral Services, is being accused of taking things without permission for a whole week in May of the previous year. She says that she did not do anything wrong.

The coffins were worth 90,000 Kenyan shillings, which is equivalent to $622 or £488. The handles were worth $810.

The magistrate court Ben Mark Ekhubi has decided that the bail amount will be $1,380.

The lawyer who was helping Ms Khikani asked for easier bail conditions, highlighting that she is a mother who takes care of her children on her own.
