A sombre mood engulfed Karai village in Othaya, Nyeri County, as hundreds of mourners came together to honour the life of Ivy Wangechi.
The Moi University sixth-year medical student was murdered last Thursday by her alleged lover Naftali Kinuthia.
Family and colleagues eulogised Ivy as a bright and dedicated girl who was focused on pursuing her goals in life.
The mourners who came from all walks of life gathered at Mahiga Primary School where they paid a touching tribute to Wangechi.
Political leaders who attended the burial ceremony condemned the heinous act and noted that young people should look for other alternative ways of handling their relationship issues.
Among the leaders present included Othaya MP Gichuki Mugambi, Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, Nyeri County Woman Representative Rahab Mukami and the newly elected University of Nairobi student leader Ann Mwangi.
