Mum ‘ate her two-year-old daughter’s LIVER after stabbing her to death while singing & reciting the alphabet’
A MUM allegedly ate her two-year-old daughter’s liver after stabbing her to death while singing nursery rhymes and reciting the alphabet.
Olivia Naserian, from Kitengela, Kenya, has been accused of brutally murdering her daughter before eating parts of her internal organs.
The 24-year-old mum appeared in court today charged with stabbing two-year-old Glory Njeri several times before dismembering her body.
The grisly case has sent shockwaves through Kenya as witnesses of the attack recalled the horrors they saw unfold.
According to local reports, neighbours saw Naserian stab her kid a number of times while chillingly singing hymns and reciting the alphabet.
It has also been reported that neighbours then watched on in horror as the mum began eating parts of the girl’s internal organs in Kitengala’s Milimani Estate.
Kenyan newspaper The Star said locals in the area quickly alerted authorities after hearing the desperate screams of Njeri, initially suspecting the pair had been attacked by criminals.
After they had rushed to the family home to see what was happening, they revealed they found the mum naked and brutally attacking her daughter while singing.
The neighbours reportedly tried to break down the door in an effort to save the young girl but when they finally managed to enter, Njeri was already dead with Naserian collapsed on the floor.
When cops arrived at the devastating scene, they arrested the mum on suspicion of murder.
Naserian appeared in a Kajiado court today, where she was ordered to be detained in police custody for a further 10 days while cops continued their investigation.
The woman is expected to appear in court for another hearing on May 8.
One neighbour revealed to Kenyan newspaper The Standard that they heard the mum chanting the disturbing message: “You will never cry again my baby… you will forever sleep. I love you, my daughter,” while carrying out the violent act.
They also said they could remember the baby’s haunting screams as she was attacked.
“The woman ate her baby’s liver as we watched. She also removed other internal organs such as intestines and heart from the body before becoming unconscious,” the outraged neighbour said.
Speaking to the Nairobi Wire, Naserian’s aunt said her niece was behaving bizarrely before the attack on her daughter.
Gladys Wanjiku said Naserian had recently moved back home from Kirinyaga, where she had been living with her boyfriend for the past eight months.
But by Sunday, the 24-year-old had started shouting and speaking in tongues.
Gladys also claimed her niece had broken utensils, windows and the TV before she stabbed her kid to daughter.
“Something is very wrong. We were not here, but the reports we are getting from our neighbours is that Naserian started talking in tongues and chasing after the only dog at home hours before descending on her child,” said Wanjiku to the publication.
Njeri’s disfigured body was rushed to Kitengela Hospital’s morgue for a post mortem following the brutal murder.
Benson Mutia, Kitengela Directorate of Criminal Investigations head, said: “We believe the court will give us more time to investigate this matter”.
She added that investigators are currently trying to establish whether the mum was suffering from mental health problems in the lead up to the savage attack.
