Police in Kenya will on Wednesday exhume the body of a British tourist who died two years ago to establish details about her death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Luftunisa Kwandwalla, 44, from Leicester in the UK died in August 2020 at the house of a controversial cult leader in Kenya’s coastal city of Mombasa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her initial cause of death was listed as cardiac arrest, but her family claims she was murdered and her body buried quickly to conceal evidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this month, a Kenyan court granted the family orders to have an autopsy done to see if she was killed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The body will be exhumed on Wednesday afternoon in the presence of some of her family members and an autopsy carried out later in the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Kwandwalla arrived in Kenya from the UK in August 2019 to visit members of her husband’s family. She was due to return to the UK several months later, but a coronavirus lockdown prevented her from going back home in Leicester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is during that time that her family says she unknowingly joined a controversial cult in the coastal city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The family claims that she was later murdered at the home of a reclusive Muslim preacher accused of running a secret sect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
