What transpired before the murder of the three Eldoret children

The mother of the children murdered by kidnappers in Eldoret and their bodies found dumped in River Nzoia has made a recount of what transpired before they were found dead.

Speaking to Ureport on Saturday, Ebby said her children woke up early and had breakfast before being escorted to church by Joshua Madaga, a caretaker at their residence.

While on their way, they met their cousin, 13-year-old Johny who they went to church with.

She said that she did not take long before following them, but could not see the kids on arrival but only saw the caretaker.

When asked, Johnny said that he left the children with their paternal uncle, Enoch Onsanse.

Mr Onsane could not be reached on phone when contacted as he had it off for a while and when found on phone after a while denied having seen the children.

She said Enoch had sent her a threatening SMS telling her that she had little time to surrender their property. She did not take this lightly.

The children were tortured before they met their death because two of the children had their throat slit while the other one suffered a deep cut on the forehead.

Meanwhile, it is emerging that family disagreements may have motivated the incident.

Police are questioning the brother of the children’s dad who is said to have threatened the children’s mother with dire consequences. The father to the slain kids, an aspiring MCA, said that there was a time they had employed a female house-help whom his accused brother befriended and impregnated
