A Kenyan woman, Olivia Naseren, has been arrested for stabbing her two-year-old daughter to death and eating the child’s intestines and kidneys.
The woman was arrested in Kitengela, Kajiado County, on Monday, April 24.
According to reports, Olivia locked herself in the house before stabbing her daughter to death ostensibly because the minor’s father broke up with her.
Not done with killing the hapless little girl, she then proceeded to eat her body parts.
Neighbours who recorded the woman killing her daughter said that she must be mentally unstable owing to the fact that she committed the crime without fear of being apprehended.
Under arrest, she confessed to the murder and further explained her motive.
Olivia claimed that she was affected by her break up with the child’s father.
Speaking to the press, she said that she attacked her baby because she hated herself and had suffered greatly with her child.
“I do not love myself and that is the reason why I decided to take the life of my daughter,” the lady stated.
A video shared online showed the lady repeatedly stabbing the young girl while reciting the alphabet.
Reports indicated that the 24-year-old’s woman’s parents were away when the crime was committed.
In a statement to the police, the neighbours recorded that the lady locked herself in the house and started playing with the baby.
Suddenly, they heard her start breaking utensils in the house, and they rushed to the house to intervene.
They, however, could not break in, and they resorted to watching helplessly from the window as the lady stabbed the little child and reportedly ate some of her body parts.
They called the police and reported the matter and she was rushed to Kitengela Sub-County Hospital as she fell unconscious after the incident.
Kitengela Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss Benson Mutia commented that investigations would continue despite the confession and hoped she would record a statement on the same.
The woman will also be subjected to a mental test to ascertain whether she was in the right state while committing the act.
