In Bungoma County, on Wednesday, police officers were left in shock when a 15-year-old girl walked into a police station to surrender herself.
She confessed to poisoning her mother, killing her, and secretly burying her in the family farm.
In a statement to the police, the girl, who is in Form 1, explained that her mother had been forcing her to attend school.
She said her mother would often beat her, insisting that she continue with her education, even though she had no interest in studying.
The girl added that her dream was to marry a wealthy man who could take care of her. She believed that education was useless and not worth her time, admitting that she attended school only about twice a month.
She went on to reveal that when her mother became too strict, she bought rat poison from a nearby shop. She secretly mixed the poison into her mother’s food. Since her mother was already suffering from high blood pressure, the poison quickly caused her to collapse and lose consciousness.
Afterward, the girl said she dug a three-foot-deep grave on the farm. She carried her mother’s body there, buried it completely, and even planted flowers on the grave.
The teenager told the police that she wanted to be sent to jail. She explained that if she were released, villagers would likely force her to return to school, which she strongly did not want. View_more....
