One year is how long a woman may spend behind bars for claiming her business rival sacrificed her two children to advance in business.
Pauline Anyango, 30, allegedly made the claims against Susan Achieng on September 21 at Garden estate along Thika Road.
Police said Achieng was at her wholesale shop at 8pm, which is next to the suspect’s kiosk when she heard her telling some customers that she had sacrificed her own children to expand the shop.
The court heard that this was not the first time the accused was making such serious allegations.
Achieng claimed some residents had allegedly branded her ‘devo’ (devil).
Anyango denied the charge and was set free on a Sh20,000 cash bail. Her trial begins on January 28.
