A 23-year-old Kenya Defence Force  (KDF) Officer revealed to the High Court in Eldoret about his parents' toxic marriage that ended up in his mother's murder, allegedly by his father.

While giving his evidence before Justice Emily Ominde, Sammy Ndirangu recounted several incidents when his father, Francis Mwangi Ndirangu, abused his late mother while he and his siblings watched.

Ndirangu, who fought back tears while testifying on the dock, regretted that the constant attacks meted out on his mother , Rael Cherop Biwott, led to her death.
