Shock as father beats daughter to death
Police in Bungoma launch investigations after father beats daughter to death
Police in Bungoma launch investigations after father beats daughter to death.
Police in Chesikaki, in Mt. Elgon, Bungoma County have commenced investigations to uncover circumstances that led up to a middle-aged man beating his daughter to death.
Maurice Toto, 41, reportedly attacked his 23-year-old daughter, Esther Nasimiyu, on Thursday night, following a clash of opinions over an unspecified family matter.
The 22-year-old girl’s body was discovered by curious neighbours on Friday, lying inside her father’s house with multiple injuries alleged to have been inflicted by a blunt object.
According to police, her body bore multiple body injuries inflicted by a blunt object.
Reports further indicated that the deceased was among the candidates who sat for the recently released Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and scored a grade of D.
Area chief Morris Wetala, while confirming the incident, urged parents to embrace alternative disciplinary methods as opposed to corporal punishment.

Toto is currently being held at Chesikaki police station pending arraignment while Nasimiyu’s body is being preserved at Sante Hospital Mortuary awaiting postmortem.
Meanwhile, the area chief further dismissed allegations that the man’s decision to punish the girl could have been linked to the victim’s grade that she obtained in her national examinations.
“As the area chief, I condemn such an act, because that is not the solution to such problems. I do not think her death is linked to her KCSE grade,” Otala told journalists.
“It was just a difference in the parent and child’s opinions. I want to urge parents to stop caning their children, the father could have just advised the daughter on the right thing to do,” he added.
