Two boys from Machakos County, aged 11 and 8, were shocked to discover their missing mother’s body decomposing under their matrimonial bed in Joska, Machakos County.
According to a narrative shared by Usikimye founder Njeri Wa Migwi on Friday, June 16, the deceased, a hairdresser, was in a constant fight with her husband in the months leading up to her death.
According to the human rights activist, the man’s alleged assault on his eldest daughter was the root cause of the family squabbles.
After a fight with her husband, the mother of three would frequently disappear for a while, only to return days later.
Following the last altercation, the deceased took her two sons to the home of her eldest daughter, who was married.
The eldest daughter, on the other hand, became concerned for her mother’s safety after she took too long to pick them up. Her siblings were preparing to reopen the school.
She then drove them to her father’s house before returning to her residence.
The father approached the two boys and took their phone under the guise of charging it.
The boys couldn’t find their father in the morning because he had vanished from the house. They were later alerted by a foul odor emanating from their parent’s bedroom.
When they entered the room, they were greeted by flies only to discover the swollen and decomposing body of their mother under the bed, prompting them to call the neighbors.
The father allegedly fled with the children’s phones, as well as the deceased’s phone and all of her documents.
