- A mother and her older lover's negligence saw her young son die inside a car - They locked him up in the car with high temperature and went to entertain themselves in a lodging in Bungoma county - The two are now cooling their heels in jail as the 8-year-old was buried by his remaining family in a solemn, low turn out ceremony - Their appeals to be assisted with burial funds fell on either deaf or shunning ears due to the circumstances that led to the child's death On Monday, June 12, news of a 8-year-old boy dying while his mother entertained her secret lover gripped the nation. The boy, Enos Barasa, is said to have passed on after he was left locked inside a car while his mother and her lover, June Nganga, 60, entertained themselves in a lodging room in Bumula market, Bungoma county. A post-morterm revealed that the boy died of injuries to the head and not suffocation as had earlier been reported. It remains unknown who caused the injuries. The mother and her lover were arrested by police in time as a gathering crowd bayed for their blood. Enos’ death sparked outrage in Kenyans considering it is among the first such cases to make national news. Kenyans could not come to terms with how ignorant the mother could be to tag along her young son to a tryst and then lock him up in the car only to supply him with sodas at intervals.
