KAYCIE DEATH: Corpse War Breaks Out As Amwene Accuses Muroora Saying You Were Not Married At All, His Body, His Wealth Are Mine
Is KC’s Widow Beverly the One Holding Up the Burial Solicitor accused of delaying funeral despite widow’s legal rights and burial instructions
By Simba Chikanza | Investigations Desk
At a time when swirling rumours are casting dark shadows over the sudden death of popular UK-based Zimbabwean DJ, Kudzaishe Chipadza, better known as Kaycie, a bitter dispute over his burial is playing out behind the scenes While some family members and online observers are accusing his widow, Beverly Hanyani, of stalling the funeral, an in-depth look at the evidence reveals a different story—one that places the delay squarely at the feet of KC’s biological mother’s solicitor, Ivon Sampson of Privatus Law ■ The Legal Letter That Raised Eyebrows
On 10 July 2025, Ms Glory Chipadza, the deceased’s mother, through her solicitor at Privatus Law, served Beverly with a Pre-Action Protocol Letter demanding she stop all funeral arrangements
The letter accused Beverly of falsely claiming to be next of kin, despite being KC’s wife and mother of his eldest children It insisted that because the couple was not married at the time of death, she had no legal right to direct the burial “You were not married to the deceased at the time of his death and have no automatic legal entitlement to act as next of kin,” wrote Sampson.“You have acted unilaterally… Presented yourself as ‘next of kin’ to Walton & Taylor without legal authority.”
But these claims contradict reality Multiple messages and forwarded communications reveal that Beverly does have a marriage certificate and that the UK coroner’s office formally recognised her as the legal spouse, granting her custody of KC’s body
“They paid 6000 for KC funeral then they went and took their money back because the mother wanted to be next of kin,” reads one forwarded message.“But now we have paid £11065… she went and told the council that Bev is lying…So that’s what’s stopping the burial.”
Another message notes that the mother and her representatives even wrote to the Zimbabwean embassy alleging that Beverly was refusing to release the body—a claim the coroner’s office itself invalidated by releasing the body to Beverly on the basis of her legal status as wife and mother ■ KC Wanted to Be Buried in Zimbabwe
The conflict is not just legal—it’s also cultural Beverly has consistently maintained that KC had expressed his wish to be buried in Zimbabwe, not the UK, where his mother now insists he must be laid to rest Family members admit in group chats that this disagreement over burial location and control has halted progress
