Authorities in Kenya are to exhume the body of a British tourist who died two years ago at the home of a controversial cult leader.
Luftunisa Kwandwalla was buried in August 2020 at a cemetery in the coastal city of Mombasa after reportedly dying of natural causes.
She arrived in Kenya as a tourist in August 2019 but her return to the UK was delayed due to lockdowns imposed in Kenya and Britain during the Covid pandemic.
Her family says she then joined a controversial cult in Mombasa.
The family alleges the 44-year-old was murdered and her body buried quickly to hide evidence.
Last week it obtained court orders for the exhumation to allow for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the cause of death.
The family told the BBC that the autopsy would be the first step in bringing closure on her death.
No one has been arrested in connection with the death and police records show that there are currently no active investigations.
