Detectives in Kitengela, Kajiado county, have detained a 27-year-old mother who is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter with a knife and then feeding on her body.
Glory Njeri’s mother, Olivia Naseren, is accused of killing the child after divorcing the boy’s father.
According to a police complaint obtained by K24 Digital, the mom sliced her infant into pieces before eating the intestines and kidney in a shocking act that sent the community breathless with wrath.
Naseren was playing with the infant while she was locked up in her home when she suddenly snapped and started destroying everything.
Her neighbors were drawn by the noise and watched in shock as she repeatedly stabbed her daughter with a knife while they were unable to enter the room.
Police and the locals managed to break into the house and found the woman unconscious.
“Juvenile aged two years old was sliced by the mother into pieces, and she later fed on her intestines the suspect was found at the scene unconscious and escorted to the Kitengela Sub-county Hospital for treatment,” the police report read in part.
“Neighbours were attracted by noise from her house and they rushed into her room where they found she had locked herself inside alongside the minor. She began by breaking her TV set before she picked her baby whom she stabbed more than 100 times as neighbours watched in disbelief. She later dismembered her body and began eating the deceased body parts.”
The woman was rushed to Kitengela Sub-county Hospital for treatment pending further action.
“Upon arrival at the hospital she was treated and forced to vomit the alleged body parts which are now part of the evidence in the case,” police added.
The deceased’s body was taken to Kitengela Sub-county Hospital morgue awaiting autopsy.
