Woman Crashes Her Funeral in Australia, Terrifying Husband Who Allegedly Paid to Have Her Killed
ktla ^ | 02/05/2016

Noela Rukundo was visiting her native country of Burundi in January 2015 for her stepmother’s funeral when she was kidnapped, the mother of eight recently said, according to the Washington Post....

The Washington Post reported Kalala paid the kidnappers $7,000 in Australian dollars (about $5,000 in U.S. dollars) in the murder-for-hire plot, but the kidnappers did not believe in killing women.

Instead, they kept the cash and set Rukundo free. They also gave her evidence to incriminate Kalala.

Five days later, Rukundo stepped out of a car at her own funeral and approached her husband.

"Surprise! I'm still alive!" she said to the father of three of her children. Frightened, he screamed and asked her if she was a ghost.

Allegedly? Did the headline writer not read the article? Her husband pled guilty.

Well that just goes to show you - when you're engaging a kidnapper and a murderer-for-hire, at least find an honest, law-abiding one.

Don’t pay the Ferryman until he gets you to the other side.

I kind of find the entire story suspect. But particularly that part.

This one is so crazy it just might be true.

Not like the usual retreads that come out of China.

Burundi? What are the chances they were ‘asylum’ seekers in the first place...and then going back home for a vacation?

From all I’ve heard Australia has pretty tough standards for regular immigration. I doubt there’s any great need for Burundians.

I just headed over here to post the story, but you beat me to it. It might be the craziest story yet.

Here it is, in the Washington Post:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/02/05/wife-crashes-her-own-funeral-horrifying-her-husband-who-had-paid-have-her-killed/

From the article:

(SNIP)

They weren’t going to kill her, the men then explained - they didn’t believe in killing women, and they knew her brother. But they would keep her husband’s money and tell him that she was dead. After two days, they set her free on the side of a road, but not before giving her a cellphone, recordings of their phone conversations with Kalala, and receipts for the $7,000 in Australian dollars they allegedly received in payment, according to Australia’s The Age newspaper.

“We just want you to go back, to tell other stupid women like you what happened,” Rukundo said she was told before the gang members drove away.

(/SNIP)

Ummm..

For an appropriate donation to the Billary's Foundation, I'm sure an employment prospect with a CV containing suitable qualifications could be located..

Or is PIAPS keeping them to herself in case the Bern gets too threatening?
