The mother of the prime suspect in the shocking murder of Nairobi Hospital Finance Director Eric Maigo has spoken up.
She is vehemently denying the allegations against her daughter.
In an interview with the local media, the mother acknowledged that her daughter has a troubled past as a juvenile delinquent.
Troubled childhood

The mother raised eyebrows when she claimed that an NGO had provided her daughter with liters of Salad oil.
This assertion, however, was swiftly debunked as false.
Furthermore, she revealed her daughter had come home with mysterious marks on her body, attributing them to her friends.
Despite acknowledging her daughter’s theft tendencies, the mother vehemently denied any involvement in the murder.
The fateful night
A heated argument between mother and daughter over food in Kibra’s sprawling slums preceded the teenager’s mysterious disappearance.
CCTV footage confirmed that the suspect was present at her mother’s residence past 11 p.m. that night.
Meanwhile, Eric Maigo was last seen partying with three women at a club along Ngong Road around 10 p.m.
Subsequent CCTV footage places the teenage girl just blocks away from where the murder occurred, though not at Maigo’s residence.

The DCI identified her as a prime suspect, sparking a high-profile manhunt.
Yet, critical questions remain unanswered. What was the relationship between the teenager and Maigo?
What transpired in their phone conversations? Complicating matters, the mother claims the suspect never owned a phone.
The minor, in custody for Eric Maigo’s death, insists she had never met him before that fateful day.
According to a DCI detective, she claimed to have encountered Maigo by the roadside after fleeing her home following an argument with her guardian.
As the police secure a 21-day detention period for further investigations, they face the daunting task of connecting the dots.
The suspect, a juvenile delinquent without a phone, doesn’t fit the profile of a murder suspect.
Her capture at a friend’s house adds another layer of mystery to this perplexing case.
The truth lies hidden, waiting for investigators to unveil the most shocking details yet.
