On Monday, November 4, the mother of a murdered college student was reprimanded after she assaulted a man suspected to have killed her daughter.
The mother, Beatrice Wanyotta, confronted 31-year-old Mustafa Idd at the Eldoret High court as he was being escorted by two police officers to his court cell.
Mustafa is suspected to have killed Emma Wanyotta, a student at Vera Beauty College.
According to People Daily, the murder case facing the suspect had failed to proceed for the third time consecutively since he was arrested, angering the mother.
Presiding judge Stephen Githinji ordered a mental assessment be conducted so as to establish that the suspect was fit to stand trial.
The deceased was brutally murdered and her body dismembered at Moi's Bridge, Uasin Gishu County.
She was also raped and her limbs cut off.
It is reported that the deceased rejected Mustafa’s advances leading to a confrontation that ended in her death.
She was in her house when Mustafa is said to have visited and eventually used a blunt object to hit her on the head.
Her mother had recounted that she had left her daughter at home unharmed only to come back to the horrifying traces of the barbaric act in her living room.
“When I got back home, I did not find my daughter in the house. I, however, found my living room in a total mess; blood splattered all over,” Beatrice disclosed.
