NakuruKenya. A domestic worker who witnessed her employer allegedly being killed by her husband has revealed that that night Anita Mugweru asked for help, but the neighbors only looked at her until she fell to the ground.
Anita’s family is seeking justice after their daughter was burned to death by her husband at their home in Nakuru county, after experiencing a strained relationship for some time and frequent arguments.
According to the deceased’s mother, the couple was about to separate.
Did Anita call her neighbors for help?
According to Anita’s housekeeper, the couple was arguing in the bedroom, and at one point the captain headed to the kitchen with some intention.
“He entered the kitchen and started walking around, then I realized that he had taken a knife. Then he went to the living room, and I found that he was on top of Anita with a knife. I pulled him from Anita, and he ran while trying to pull the knife from his body. He tried to walk and reached the gate; his son was following him, and he started calling the neighbors,” said the housekeeper.
“The neighbor who was called by the child was the only one who came to help us; others were just standing on the porch watching. No one moved even a step. Mama Milan was the only one who came to help, we put her in a bodaboda and took her to the Nairobi Women’s Hospital,” he added.
“I called his people, and they started to inform other relatives. We called his driver, and he told us that he had already died.”
How did Kenyans respond to the incident?
Mildred Mabera: “Sometimes working girls go through a lot but their employers look down on them. Now you see the only person who helped was a housekeeper – no brothers, no neighbors, just a housekeeper. Respect for housekeepers.”
Faiz Mohamed: “The neighbors didn’t help, only Mama Milan.”
Kosly Ezekiel Ndego: “I’ve seen a case like this before. It’s like a normal movie these days, but I really sympathize with this witness and especially the little child; I hope they recover from this terrible incident.”
John Brian Ouma: “The neighbors were just watching, really! What kind of neighbors are these!”
Jeff Symo: “Anita was going to leave the very first day when Edu told her he was going to kill her… that was a big red flag. People, when you realize things aren’t right, don’t force it, leave. Compatibility is never guaranteed.”
Apostolic Nguku: “She is a very good housekeeper. I wish everyone could be like her. She deserves to be recognized and given a gift… don’t you agree?”
