Mother Kills 4-Year-Old Son For Soiling Himself, Dumps Body at Morgue
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have apprehended two female suspects in connection with the murder of a four-year-old kid who soiled himself.
The primary suspect in the murder is a lady thought to be the boy’s mother, who, according to authorities, carried the child’s corpse to Mama Lucy Hospital Mortuary after the crime.
To add to the mystery of the incident, the DCI disclosed that after taking her son’s lifeless body to the hospital, the woman never returned to retrieve it for burial.
“The suspect (mother), while in the company of her friend, is reported to have taken the lifeless body of the child to Mama Lucy Hospital mortuary on December 9, 2024, but failed to return after reporting the incident to the police as guided by the morgue officials,” DCI shared in a statement.

Following the incident, the two suspects switched off their phones, arousing suspicion and prompting the facility mortician to report the incident to Mowlem Police Station.
Detectives from Dandora teamed up with Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) hawkshaws from the Nairobi area to uncover shocking details about the child’s dying moments.
Investigations by the sleuths found that the mother’s alibi that the infant died while sleeping did not add up.
This came after it was discovered that the kid had died as a result of injuries sustained during an alleged event in which the boy apparently soiled himself.
“Whereas the suspect initially claimed that the child died while asleep, it was found that the minor had succumbed to injuries inflicted by his mother after an alleged incident, where the boy had reportedly soiled himself while answering the call of nature,” DCI added.

“Upon deeper interrogation, it was uncovered that the main suspect is the biological mother of the deceased child; a revelation that has added an even darker layer to the already heartbreaking case of the boy’s untimely death.”
As the detectives began to piece together the events of the tragedy, the culprit was apprehended, assisting the sleuths in uncovering the complete narrative behind the child’s tragic death.
DCI announced that they were doing everything necessary to hold those guilty accountable for the incident that happened in December last year.
“The pursuit of justice continues as we work tirelessly to understand the truth and hold those responsible accountable for their actions,” DCI added.
