Husband left in a huff 15 years ago, never to be seen again

Riftvalley,Kenya: For 15 years now, Esther Chebet, 51, has been staring at her gate, hoping that her husband of 18 years would one day reappear and assist her with the burden of raising their five children.

Her numerous visits to various police stations and morgues across Baringo and Uasin Gishu counties bore no fruit. Every time she hears that someone has been found abandoned in the bush either dead or alive, she makes frantic efforts to ascertain the identity of the person.
