Former Miss Kenya Cecilia Mwangi:How they killed mum

On Cecilia Mwangi’s left hand is a two-week old tattoo reading ‘Cherise’, her three-year-old daughter’s first name. It was meant to read ‘Sarah’, her late mother who was murdered only two days after the two dined and partied a weekend away in such a memorable style that Cecilia decided to dedicate a tattoo to her. Her mother was against the idea.

The former Miss Kenya and anti-jiggers campaign ambassador’s mother had travelled from their Sango Farm in Saboti, Trans Nzoia County, for a weekend - a routine she usually did during her 10 years’ stay there, to keep in touch with her family.
