A High Court in Eldoret is waiting for a report before sentencing a 45-year-old woman who pleaded guilty to killing her 11-year-old son.
Janepher Khayiecha, while appearing before Justice Stephen Githinji in June, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after entering a plea bargain agreement with the Office of Director of Public Prosecutions.
According to the charge sheet, Khayiecha killed Kefa Kona Khayiecha on March 23, 2017, at their home in Chepsaita, Eldoret West, Uasin Gishu County.
According to the prosecution, Khayiecha had confronted her son, a Standard Five pupil, for failing to sleep at home and skipping school on the morning of March 23, 2017.
