Former Director of Public Prosecutions Philip Murgor, on Thursday, made some revelations in court that resulted in an uproar among those present.
In a land case that was being heard in an Eldoret court, Murgor accused his stepmother and stepsister of practising witchcraft.
The former prosecutor accused his stepmother Selina Murgor and step sister Elizabeth Komen of engaging the supernatural spirits in a bid to block him from having a share of his late father Charles Murgor’s estate.
He made the allegations while cross-examining his stepbrother George Murgor who was testifying in the case.
"Your honour, my elder sister Elizabeth and her mother Selina practice witchcraft and they have instilled fear into George so that he can lie about Kalyet farm,” Philip sensationally claimed.
The claims led to a burst of outrage by Elizabeth who denied the claims from the court's gallery.
The presiding judge, Olga Sewe was not pleased by her conduct and warned her to control her temper.
“I am not going to allow disruption of court proceedings. You either control your temper or get out peacefully,” the judge proclaimed.
Charles Murgor, a former Nyanza Provincial Commissioner, died 24 years ago and left behind four widows; Selina Murgor with five children, Hannah (two children), Christine (six children) and Dinah (four children).
In the proceedings, Philip alleged that his step-mother used charms to influence his father to practice polygamy.
The dispute arose from a 250-acre land in Turbo constituency and Kalyet farm (1,400 acres) in Uasin Gishu county.
In his arguments, Philip stated, “My father was in a serious financial problem that he could not afford to purchase the 1,400-acre Kalyet farm. It was my mother who bought it," arguing that none of his siblings from the other mothers should be given any part of the Kaylet farm.
The case was adjourned and will be heard on July 19.
