There was a sombre mood as three children hacked to death by their step-mother two weeks ago were buried in Obede village, Vihiga County.

Tears flowed freely as bodies of Persilah Awour (7), Joseph Ogonda (4) and Geoffrey Ouma (1) were laid to rest. The body of their step-mother -Jacinta Adhiambo - who killed herself after committing the heinous act, was missing from the homestead because she had been ostracised.
