The husband of this African-born Australian woman thought she had been murdered, for he had planned it. Little did he expect she would give him the shock of a lifetime by showing up (alive and well) at her own funeral!In early 2015, a refugee woman, named Noela Rukundo, flew 7,500 miles from Melbourne, Australia, to her native country Burundi to attend her stepmother’s funeral.
