The body of deceased Kenyan Instagram model Esther Shanice Omwenga, also known as Shan Wanita, was stolen from the mortuary earlier today, barely one day before her funeral, according to her mother.
The distraught mother told reporters that the body was sadly not there when she went to the Umash funeral home to arrange the burial.
She said neither she nor Shan's siblings had seen their sister's body since passing.

The mother disclosed that the family has been working to resolve several concerns after her husband passed away.
But before she could see her daughter's body, several family members snatched it at the funeral home.
The grieving mother expressed her sadness over the circumstances and stated all she wanted was for the body to be returned to the mortuary so she could give her daughter a proper send-off.
" I called Umash at around 3.30 and the lady incharge told me I had no rights to take the body without papers, I have never seen my daughter's body since the day she died. I wasn't given time to mourn and there are family issues we were supposed to sort out. I need my baby's body back at the morgue so that I can arrange her burial as her mother. The so called relatives stole my daughter's body. We have not been in good terms since my husband died," shared Shan's mother.
Shan Wanita was a model, influencer, and Tiktok user from Kenya. She also created content. On September 17, 2023, she unfortunately died at a young age after being engaged in an automobile accident on Mombasa Road.
Shan was traveling with three others when the accident occurred. Her friend and his daughter are among the other two who lost their lives in the grisly accident.
Many Kenyans have expressed their sorrow over the model's passing. Sandra Mbuvi, a daughter of Sonko, and Dennis Itumbi are two of these.
Condolences to the family, and may her soul rest in peace
