A woman in Kitengela, Kajiado County, has been arrested after allegedly stabbing her 2-year-old daughter to death and eating her body parts.
In a statement to the press, the lady identified as Olivia Naseren acknowledged attacking her own baby, explaining that her actions were driven by a deep self-loathing and the immense pain she had experienced in relation to her child.
