A family in Tassia area, Embakasi East Constituency is mourning the loss of a young boy after he was murdered by his biological father.
The incident that sent the boy’s mother Nancy Adhiambo and her husband Christopher Okeyo in severe grief happened yesterday.
Nancy and her husband had left the house earlier to go hustle when her ex-lover sneaked into the house. And abducted the innocent baby boy.
So when Adhiambo and her husband returned, their baby was not in the vicinity of their house.
Adhiambo asked her neighbors if they could know of the baby’s whereabouts. She learnt that a man whose description fitted her former husband had been seen leaving with the baby called Derrick, on a motorbike. They immediately rushed to the mans house in Mukuru kwa Njenga area.
When they got there and broke the door, they were met by the baby’s lifeless body laying on the bed. And the man’s body hanging from an electric cable close by.
The man had left behind a suicide note and a Sh 500 note on the table, instructing Adhiambo to buy airtime worth the amount and inform his entire family of his demise.
Owing to the increased cases of missing children in city estates, parents and guardians are urged to guarantee the safety and security of their children, by leaving them in the hands of responsible adults whenever they are away.
Cases of child disappearance or abuse can be reported to DCI’s Anti Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit for action through the number 0800 722 203.
