Nairobi, Feb. 11 -- A cloud of sorrow hang over the sprawling Kangai village in Kirinyaga County as 15 families tried to come to terms with the death of their relatives who died after consuming a toxic brew last week.

They wore sad faces as they gathered at Kangai Primary School for an interdenominational prayer service organised by the Deputy President's wife, Dorcas Rigathi.

Tears flowed as the relatives recounted memories of their loved ones, never to be seen again, thanks to the illicit brew that saw tens of others turn blind, but luckily regaining sight after.

"I have lost my husband, Peter Mwai and now I'm a widow. What has happened has left me miserable," said Ms Agnes Wanjiku as she sobbed.
