SCANDAL;;Woman Crashes Her Own Funeral After Husband Paid to Have Her Killed

 

Last year, Noela Rukundo attended her own funeral in Melbourne, Australia. As the last of the mourners filed out of her house, she got out of her car to face her husband, the man who'd hired hit men to kill her when she took a trip to Burundi just five days earlier.

According to the BBC, Rukundo confronted him by saying, "Surprise! I'm still alive!" and her husband looked as though he'd seen a ghost.

According to the Australia Broadcasting Corporation, Balenga Kalala paid kidnappers $7,000 to shoot his wife and mother of his three kids while in Burundi. The hit men allegedly had morals: They told Rukundo after holding her at gunpoint they did not want to kill women or children. They also provided her with the evidence that would ultimately indict her husband — recordings of conversations between them and Kalala as well as receipts of payment for the job. 

Finally, they called Kalala and extorted him for more money after telling him the job was done and his wife was dead. Believing the men, Kalala told everyone at home Rukundo had been killed in a tragic accident in Africa and began organizing her funeral.
