A sales employee in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, has been charged with the theft of two coffins and 26 coffin handles, according to local reports.
Maureen Khikani, who was an employee of St Augustine Funeral Services, is accused of stealing the items over a week-long period in May last year. She denies all charges.
