A man abducted his three-year-old son in Embakasi’s Tassia estate and killed him before hanging himself.
According to DCI, Derrick Okeyo was kidnapped by his biological and former husband by his mother Victor Ayieko.
“A family in Embakasi’s Tassia estate is in mourning after their 3-year-old son Derrick Okeyo was abducted by his biological father and killed in cold blood. In the sad incident that plunged Nancy Adhiambo and her husband Christopher Okeyo into mourning, Adhiambo’s former husband Victor Ayieko, 30, had sneaked into their house in Tassia estate and left with the boy before he killed him and hanged himself. DCI said.
The man identified as Victor Ayieko is said to have abducted the son after sneaking into his ex-wife’s home when she had left for work.
Upon returning, the boy’s mother; Nancy Adhiambo, and her husband Christopher Okeyo learnt that her former husband had been seen leaving with the baby on a motorbike.
The two rushed to Ayieko’s house at the nearby Mukuru kwa Njenga only to find the baby’s lifeless body on the suspect’s bed, with Ayieko’s body hanging on an electric cable close by.
A suicide note from Ayieko and Ksh.500 were found on the table, instructing Adhiambo to buy airtime and inform the entire family of his demise.
“Owing to the increased cases of missing children in city estates, parents and guardians are urged to guarantee the safety and security of their children, by leaving them in the hands of responsible adults whenever they are away,” the DCI said.
