Senator Mithika Linturi and Marianne Kitany

The fall out between Meru Senator and his estranged wife Marianne Kitany played out during the burial for the senator's father Peter Linturi.

Linturi's family did not acknowledge Ms Kitany at the burial as the two are currently locked in a messy court battle to determine whether they, indeed, are husband and wife.

Mithika Linturi’s first wife, Mercy Kaimenyi, was listed as the daughter-in-law of the Meru Senator’s Late father who was buried at his rural home in Igembe South, Meru County.

Speakers at the event steered clear of the ongoing divorce case between Senator Linturi and Kitany.
