It is a sad incident that happened here in Kenya. The Gospel artiste by the name Rachel was a die-hard follower of President Ruto of Kenya. As a result she had his tattoo on her chest near the shoulder. It however did not go well with her when some people who dislike Ruto and his leadership attached her, doused petrol and acid on her and set her ablaze. She was badly burnt and even though she was admitted in one of the best referral hospitals here in Kenya, she succumbed to the injuries on May 18. It is so sad that politics can take such an ugly turn.

That's sad. I would never get a tattoo of someone's name.

Do you think those who did this will be held accountable? I can’t imagine the pain she suffered.

That is just despicable that someone would do that to anyone. I hope those responsible will be punished.
