Police in Keringet, Nakuru County have arrested a couple for beating
their daughter to death over allegations that she was accompanying men
at night during traditional circumcision ceremonies,
The shocking incident which happened in Kenya was confirmed by Keringet
Location Chief Nicholas Kering who noted that Bernard Langat and Tabitha
Langat fatally beat their daughter, a Standard Two pupil at Bararget
Primary School, after suspecting she had spent Thursday night with boys
at an initiation ceremony in the neighbourhood.
“Our daughter’s behaviour was giving us sleepless nights and we were
just trying to correct her by caning her. Unfortunately, she sustained
injuries and while rushing her to Olenguruone Hospital, she died,” the deceased’s mother Tabitha Langat told the police.
The girl's father was captured by angry locals after he escaped to hide
at a nearby maize plantation. He was later handed over to the Nyumba
Kumi officials.
Police recovered blood-stained Jerry can and clothes at Langat’s home.
The couple will remain in police custody until a post mortem examination
on the deceased is done. Thereafter, charges will be filed against the
suspects
