Irene Jepchumba, a lecturer at Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology in Nakuru, declined to accompany her mother on a field trip the day she died at a waterfall while on a date with her lover.

Monicah Boitt, who is a lecturer at Egerton University, told High Court judge Joel Ngugi that her daughter instead told her that she wanted to visit her new workplace.
