The woman “had personal problems”
Members of the Kenya-Stockholm community are in a state of shock following a report yesterday that a Kenyan mother of two is in police custody following suspicion that she may have murdered her two sons.
Last evening, KSB was flooded with calls from Kenyans who expressed shock following the murder and sympathy for the kids. “This is an issue that is difficult to understand because nobody knew that it could happen”, Martin Ngatia told KSB.
“I really don’t know what to say and I will have to come back to the issue to try and get what happened”, Sandy, another Kenyan told KSB on telephone.
“I do think that we should be our brother’s and sister’s keepers. I knew this lady but what has happened does not tally with my knowledge of this Kenyan mother”, millionaire Barbz told KSB. “Those of us who knew this lady are very surprised because she did not look like someone who could do such a thing”, Barbz told KSB as she tried to recover from the shock.
“I am still unable to come to terms with the fact that those two nice boys are gone forever”, Mary Wambui, a Kenyan who knows the lady told KSB.
Mr. Mark Gaya, a Kenyan who lives in Märsta said that it is sad that such a tragedy had struck members of the Kenyan community adding that no one could imagine that it could happen.
As the Kenya-Stockholm community continues to absorb the shock, attention is turning to what may have led the woman to kill her two sons.
A Kenyan male who knows the woman told KSB that her life has been in a mess for a long time but that she has had little help from friends and other close acquaintances. “Those who know her well also know her problems but I don’t know whether they will say anything”, the Kenyan told KB.
According to a Kenyan lady who was also very close to the woman, it’s probably too late because the innocent children are gone and regardless of what people say, the children will never come back.
KSB has learnt that after going through trying moments in the refugee camp and following the collapse of her relationship, single motherhood has been tearing the woman apart. The woman was said to have been on a poor mental state, disagreed with very close friends on almost everything while she had allegedly become verbally violent especially during moments of disagreement.
Many Kenyans remember how in a recent case, the woman engaged a former close friend in dirty exchanges that cannot be published at KSB. After disagreeing with the friend and expelling her from her apartment where the friend had taken refuge with her two year old son, the woman moved to FB where she lashed at the woman using dirty language that many of her FB friends found difficult to cope with. As Kenyans continue to come to terms with the tragedy, there seems to be more than meets the eye under the circumstances.

one cannot use facebook comments to validate an extreme of killing own children, for all we know that person she lived with for years was actually a scambag. KSB you should be as neutral as you can on this matter.
KSB: Can you please pull out the line(s) which”validates” the “extreme of killing children” using Facebook comments? FB comments are stated here as facts which were published at FB. These facts have not been connected in any way to the killing. The connection is yours. You could have been right if the FB comments went something like “since she made the comments at FB, she may have killed the kids”. If you want a debate, let us go for one but if you are looking for attention, I may not help you.
Commentator #1 only wants attention. In this case they should go to all the Swedish blogs that have published the photos and personal details of the suspected mother and fight for her violated rights.
There is no mother in her sound mind that would kill her own child never. Back at home when we have problem we talk to our friends, neighbours or relatives. They encourage us and show someone that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Here when you have a problem it’s only on your shoulders because when you tell a friend, neighbour or a relative it’s like telling a newspaper. Poor mother, she had a lot of problems and no one to share it with. My prayers go to her and the innocent’s children
How do you comment on issues you can barely understand? How can you then make judgement on matters that don’t affect you? If you’ve been in a similar situation, then go ahead and say what you like!
KSB: It looks like the chickens are really on KSB today. Can’t some KS-Beer help me out please? Cecilia, let me know the judgement I made so that I can answer your question. Please…
Osewe, Cecilia and a bunch of other guilty commentators are on your case simply because they were not there for the suspected mother of the late children. Osewe, you have been professional in writing about this news. Why can’t they be on the Swedes who plastered her news complete with photos, work address and other personal data?
These weaklings who ran away from this suspected criminal should just shut up!
Eldin, keep running your mouth as much as you like! Truth is, what has happened to Grace could happen to anyone. Leo ni mimi, kesho ni wewe!
Just me, why do you bother with what i wrote? you didn’t understand my comment.
May the almighty God rest the souls of these pricless angels in His presence. We only know in part now, but we shall know in full, why bad things happen to good people. All I know is that God is good all the time. May His name be praised. I pray that this mother finds God, because God is love and He loves her unconditionally. It is well my brothers and sisters. Shalom!
