Mother of Eric Maigo's Murder Suspect Painfully Narrates How Troublesome the Daughter Was

The mother of the Prime Suspect in the murder of Nairobi Hospital Finance Director Eric Maigo has narrated the tough journey of raising her daughter.

The suspect believed to be a teenager, was troublesome for the better part of her life and would often be embroiled in thievery activities, the mother has now revealed.

Until the day she was linked to the murder of Eric Maigo, the mother says the daughter hardly slept outside the home.

She infact narrates that she was shocked to discover that she could have escaped at midnight hours before Eric Maigo was discovered dead.

The woman took up the matter with her and inquired why she had escaped home.

I told her, "You won't stay here any longer. I will take you to the Chief so they can question you properly and find out what happened for you to leave my house at night."

According to the mother, the suspect had a rough journey with education and could not be tamed even at a younger age.

"One day, she went out and came back with a big bag of clothes. I said, 'You have stolen something.' Let's go to Toi Market together so I can find out where you got these clothes, when we got there, she started making excuses." 

The suspect first abandoned school despite receiving a sponsorship from a philanthropist.

The sponsorship saw her enrolled at Olympic Primary School but she did not religiously follow her school calendar.

Oftentimes, she would dodge school to engage in an aimless street walk and return home claiming she was from school.

"The child's behavior started changing while she was attending school from Class Four. Instead of going to school, she would take off her uniform and put it in her bag on her way to school, then she would wander around and return home in the evening. If you asked her where she had been at night, she would say she had come from school, but it turned out she didn't even go to school," the mother disclosed. 

The mother says her sister, seeing how troublesome the daughter had become, came and took custody of her.

The sister, who lived in Kayole, enrolled her in a school in Ruai.

In another episode of her troubling nature, the girl did not take long before committing another felony in her new school.

The suspect is currently detained for 21 days to allow police to conclude a probe into the matter.

Maigo is set to be buried at his Keumbu Home, on Friday, September 29.
