According to reports, John Gentu claimed that his new partner was unwilling to enter a relationship where a child from a previous marriage was involved.
Athi area chief Gerund Kalunge, who responded to the scene, said the body of the infant was discovered discarded near River Githii. It was determined that the child had been suffocated to death using a rope—a horrific act he vehemently condemned, according to K24 TV.
“Why kill an innocent child just because you have domestic issues with your girlfriend or wife? This is so inhuman that I am calling on the law to take its course and ensure justice prevails,” Kalunge stated.
The suspect’s mother, Njeri, disclosed that her son had been going through a tumultuous relationship which had recently ended in separation from his first wife.
A few months later, when Gentu indicated his intention to remarry, his former spouse returned their child, leaving him in the care of his grandmother.
On the fateful night, the suspect took the child, expressing a desire to spend time with him. The next morning, neither the child nor Gentu was found in his residence, nor had the child been returned to his mother.
