Kameme FM presenter Muthoni wa Kirumba, popularly known as Baby Top, has been left devastated after learning about a tragic incident involving one of her most loyal listeners, Junior wa Githogoro. Junior, a dedicated fan of Kameme FM, suffered an unimaginable loss after his wife allegedly took the lives of their three children before ending her own life.
A Tragedy That Shook the Nation
The heartbreaking incident took place in Githogoro, where Junior returned home to the devastating sight of his wife and children dead. Reports from Citizen TV indicated that his wife allegedly attacked their children before taking her own life, a tragedy that has left the entire community and the nation in shock.
Speaking during her show, Baby Top shared her heartbreak upon receiving the news early in the morning through a call from her friend, Joel. She described Junior as a staunch supporter of Kameme FM, always engaging with the presenters and actively participating in discussions.
“I woke up to those sad news at 5 AM through a call from my friend Joel. Junior had gone home and found his wife and children dead. I was confused about who to call next. I told Joel to rush to Bishop JJ’s house first while I called the senator,” she recounted, her voice filled with emotion.
Baby Top expressed her sorrow, emphasizing that Junior was not just a fan but also a fellow resident of Githogoro. “When I heard the news, I couldn’t believe it. Junior is our fan and we are from the same hometown in Githogoro. This is so heartbreaking,” she lamented.
Baby Top Calls for Mental Health Awareness
The tragic event has reignited discussions about mental health in Kenya. Baby Top used the opportunity to emphasize the importance of mental health awareness, questioning how such a devastating event could happen without anyone noticing signs of distress.
“When you wake up laughing and in good health, always thank God. Can you imagine, she killed three children and then herself? Mental health is very serious. We have a tendency to downplay these things, thinking people are pretending. Now I am wondering how and why we got here—four people are dead,” she remarked.
