Hundreds of Mogadishu Mourners Attend Burial of Woman Burned to Death by Husband

Hundreds of mourners attended the burial of a woman who died after being burned by her husband.

Throngs of mourners were at the site of the burial of Lul Abdiasis, a Mogadishu woman burned by her husband last month.

She was laid to rest on Friday.

Her family had refused to lay her to rest until they got justice.

This week, a Benadir Regional court found Lul’s husband guilty of killing her. Consequently, he was sentenced to death.

Lul was buried in Jazeera, a village on the outskirts of Mogadishu.
