Apparently, Luo culture dictates that the body must be kept in the house for some-time before members of the public are allowed to view it.
Several men tried to force it in as Luo elders watched in shock. They were heard shouting weird things as they sprinkled water on the casket.
According to the Luo culture, if a casket fails to fit through the door of the house where it's supposed to be kept before public viewing, it signifies a bad omen.
The casket was placed on a veranda as Luo elders surrounded it and continued sprinkling it with "special water".
Members of the public were then allowed to view it after some-time. Maybe the door was not built for that size of casket..
