The poor woman was trying to protect her son from the cruel uncles before they turned against her and beat her. According to Mama Kwamboka, she was trying to solve her kids disagreement when the in laws attacked her.
The three mens’ claim
Speaking in luo dialect, the elderly man who descended on the victim many times claimed that Kwamboka was disrespectful to his brother.
The poor woman pleaded for mercy and cried for the on lookers to come to her rescue but in vain. They claimed that Kwamboka had also stripped which was considered a taboo in the luo community.
“Just kill me. Arrest me with him. Help me. You are killing me. You had ordered me to leave, I’m going now,” the lady painfully said.
It is said that Kwamboka is married as a second wife, which is against the wish of her in laws. The in-laws are said to be striving to get her out of that home for them to inherit land.
