| Police at the crime scene in kisii, Iyabe village |
A woman in Kisii took
this saying to another level. The 21-year-old woman who had been working as a
house help at Umoja Estate decided to throw her 3-year-old daughter in the
waters of River Iyabe in Iyabe village on Monday after realizing that her baby
was spoiling the chances of her keeping the job. According to a report by the
standard, the woman’s employer had told her that she could not work effectively
with her baby around as she had to take care of other children in the house.
Since her relatives
including her mother had refused to stay with the baby back in Kisii, she opted
for the other choice, which was murder.
The baby’s lifeless
body was seen floating on the river waters 300 meters from its mother’s
homestead. After realizing the woman was about to leave town without her
daughter, the woman’s relatives reported her to the chief and police but it was
the screams of a villager around river Iyabe that prompted the other residents
to respond and tag the area chief along.
According to South OCPD
David Mburuka, the woman will be arraigned in court after the investigations
are completed and the postmortem report comes through in order to prefer
suitable charges against her.
I wonder, does she have any regret for doing what she did because clearly her job was more important
than her own flesh and blood.
