What Kisumu lady complained about before mysterious death

Excerpts of online chats with her friends showed her lamenting about her supposed partner, who allegedly neglected her after she fell pregnant. Josephine complained of a lack of basics, including food, given that she could not fend for herself owing to the heavy pregnancy. She accused her partner of shifting focus to other women whom he allegedly revels with in the Kisumu entertainment joints as she suffered in the house alone.

“He is seen in clubs with different ladies and buying expensive alcohol every weekend. He doesn’t care anymore about me, given that I am carrying his child. He doesn’t bother to make a call or text to check on how I am doing. When I tell him I am sick, he acts helpless. I can’t go to work because I have become lazy due to pregnancy. I asked him to help pay rent” Josephine lamented to a friend in one of the chats.

Josephine said she was despaired and was finding it hard to sustain the unborn. Her body was taken to the morgue as authorities probe the circumstances of her death
