This, according to Wanjala's relative Isaac Misiko, will keep the family from being visited by evil spirits.
Wanjala had killed innocent children and according to the Bukusu elders, he cannot be buried at his father's home and by so burying him at the riverbank, the family and clan will completely forget about him.
In addition, the self-confessed killer will be buried at night to aid in the warding off of evil spirits. It will also be carried out in accordance with the Bukusu clan's standards and traditions.
The Bukusu elders stated that the ritualist will "engage Wanjala in a conversation" and splash concoctions at the family's home and the ritualist will walk out of the compound without looking back. After the task, he will be given a bull to a peace the gods.

However, this revelation comes barely a day after Wanjala`s body was rejected by kin stating that burying him will bring curses to their family afterward.
“We’re afraid that if we bury him, we, as a clan, might be perceived as killers...”
The late was lynched by angry residents of Muhwea, Bungoma County, two days after his escape from Jogoo road police station.
The incident was confirmed by area Chief Bonface Ndiera who stated that Wanjala was slain in his own village after being identified by residents playing soccer.
Before his mysterious death, he was scheduled to appear in Makadara Law Court on Wednesday, October 13 to face 13 counts of murder.
