Woman crashes own funeral, shocks attacker husband
Her husband had hired masked gunmen to kill her on her trip to Burundi.
After her husband’s scheme of getting her murdered did not work, one woman gave him the shock of his life by arriving at her own funeral. Noela Rukondo from Australia had gone to visit her native Burundi to mourn her mother’s death when her husband hatched a plan to do away with her.
In an interview with the BBC, Rukondo recounted her bone-chilling experience of being abducted and held captive by a group of masked gunmen. She said that she was tied up by her captors and had even heard the familiar voice of her husband over the lead abductor’s phone: “Kill her.”
Fortunately, her abductors spared her and she returned to Australia. What’s more, she actually landed up at home just as the last guests left her ‘funeral’. Her husband is now serving a nine year prison sentence for incitement to murder.
