Lucy Boke, a first-year student from Kisii Polytechnic College, was allegedly killed by her lover, Stephen Orengo, on the evening of Thursday, November 9.
Lucy’s family now says their problems began when the lovers discovered their shared lineage, leading to societal disapproval.
“Familia ya kijana wako na ukoo na hii familia ambapo hawawezioana. Msichana alimkataa kuanzia December mwaka jana lakini kijana aliendelea kujitia moyo na kujilazimisha kuwa atamuoa hadi akaamua kuenda Kisii kumuua,” said the family.
Lucy left behind a 9-month-old child.
