A video showing an unusual funeral scene in the Metamaywa area of Kisii County has sparked widespread reactions on social media.
The footage shows a coffin placed on a wooden table in an open field, with only two men appearing to stay close to it.
A larger group of people can be seen gathered across the road, watching the proceedings from a distance.
One of the men is seated on a plastic chair, while the other appears to be arranging a temporary shelter over the coffin.
The unusual setting left many viewers questioning why the deceased had not been taken to a homestead or another conventional funeral venue.
The reason for the apparent separation between the coffin and the larger group had not been officially established at the time of publication.
The person who shared the video, Efra Sufuria, made claims about the circumstances surrounding the death.
According to his post, the deceased allegedly died after a physical confrontation involving his mother. However, no independent evidence was provided to verify the claim.
The allegation prompted further speculation online, with some users linking it to the unusual funeral arrangement.
Others urged social media users not to rush to conclusions, noting that the circumstances surrounding the death and burial had not been fully explained.
The video generated mixed reactions, with some people expressing sadness while others questioned the circumstances shown in the footage.
Some commenters also used humour to discuss the unusual scene, while others focused on the apparent isolation of the coffin.
One social media user said the scene raised questions about the person sitting beside the coffin, while another suggested that such a small gathering would be their preferred burial arrangement.
Others condemned the speculation surrounding the family and urged people to avoid making accusations without evidence.
The identity of the deceased was mentioned online as Saul, although details about his family and the circumstances of his death remained unclear.
By the time the video attracted attention, there was no official explanation from the family or local authorities regarding why the coffin had been placed away from the main gathering.
The incident has once again highlighted how unusual funeral scenes can quickly attract public attention when shared online.
However, without verified information, questions surrounding the burial remain unanswered.
