Baby Sagini’s Grand mother reveals why his eyes were gouged out

Baby Sagini might be too young to understand the importance of land ownership, however that naivity couldn’t stop his grandmother, Cousin Alex Ochogo and his Aunt Pacifica Nyakerario (aunt) from hatching a plan to eliminate him from line of inheritance.

Rael Nyakerario, the grandmother intimated to detectives in Kisii that the plan was to have Baby Junior Sagini killed. This is because the minor was in the line of land inheritance which some of the family members were not ok with.

According to her statement, she says that the other two suspects were determined to kill Baby Sagini as they did not want the three-year-old to inherit family land as he was a stepson in the family. Therefore a plan was hatched to terminate his life.

Sagini’s aunt, Pacifica, carried the 3 year old boy in a genie bag to a maize plantation and was later joined by her son.

The police investigating the case are convinced that the child’s eyes were mutilated right on the spot, despite the initial plan being to kill him.

The young boy is now blind due to a piece of land whose significance he might not even understand at his tender age.
