Do you believe that witchcraft exists? Well, a family in Bungoma County is today drowned in mourning after one of their own took her last breath in a very mysterious way.
Edina Nafula, middle-aged woman mother of nine from Kamusinde Yembe village died mysteriously and is alleged to have been killed by her neighbour who she was not in good terms with.
Her husband, Albert Nyongesa said his wife who attends the same church with the neighbour, had received death threats from the suspect.
He said the suspect who has since gone missing, had been stealing their chicken.
He said that the woman had also been waiting for his children by the roadside as they headed to the river to fetch water and beating them up.
The matter had been reported to the area village elder who asked the suspect to pay a fine of five thousand to Nafula which she complied.
She paid the money to the deceased and allegedly told her that before the week was over, she “will be no more”.
True to her threat, Nafula died four days later on Tuesday morning.
Before she succumbed, a healthy Nafula had allegedly complained of lack of energy in her body.
She was rushed on a motorcycle to a nearby dispensary where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Angry residents later marched to the suspect’s house and burned it down with all the household items.
They accused her of bewitching Nafula leading to her death.
