The bizarre incident occurred on Wednesday, February 11, when the casket was found a few kilometres from Wote, near the residence of a top official from Makueni.
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, a Makueni youth leader, Meshack Kyenze, whose name also appeared on the blood-soaked note, explained that the list had names of current and aspiring politicians and leaders from the county.
“Since the discovery of the casket and note, there has been fear, and everyone is just trying to make sense of what happeneed. Here in the upcountry, superstitions are rife, and so many are linking this to witchcraft; however, young people deduce it is a scare tactic since those listed are political leaders from the county. But no one really knows what happened,” Meshack said.

Though investigations have commenced, police have little to work with, as clerics who were called after the coffin was discovered burnt it and everything in it.
“The clerics meant well, but having the casket would have helped retrieve fingerprints or even track down whoever made the casket. But the police are still investigating this matter,” he stated.
Photos shared on Facebook from the scene of the incident showed that the blood of an animal was used in the casket, and the note.
Each of the nine names was written in red, and beside each name was a cross mark.
“No one can really tell the real intentions of this. I am not deterred by this incident in my ambitions. I know it comes with being in the public eye. So, if it was a scare tactic, it will not achieve anything,” he added.
