"A group of children rushed in, panicked, saying a woman had been murdered on the farm. She was discovered completely naked, with her hands and legs bound and marks on her neck. My daughter died a painful death, and I don't understand why this happened to her," lamented the devastated mother.
The grieving parents had high hopes for their daughter, believing she would transform their family’s future. They are now seeking justice following the brutal murder of their kin.
Our daughter had not provoked anyone, and we are left questioning the motive behind her tragic and ruthless murder. I plead with the government to hold those accountable for their actions," Barasa pleaded.
Area Chief Alex Wakabete noted that the DCI has taken on the investigation to identify and bring the perpetrators to justice.
