Teen brutally murders her 2 week-old baby

A somber mood engulfed Bagao village in Kericho County after a 17 year-old girl killed her two-week-old baby.

Emily Chelagat committed the brutal act by slitting his throat using a knife after fighting with her boyfriend.

Ainamoi Location Chief, Richard Bett, confirmed the incident stating that Chelagat committed the ruthless act after her boyfriend refused to take responsibility of raising the child.

Bett said that the girl, who is a pupil at Bagao Primary School, committed the offense when other family members were not present.

Police have detained her at Ainamoi Police Post ahead of her arraignment.

The body of the infant has been moved to Kericho District Hospital Mortuary.

This comes just three weeks after a 16-year-old mother gave birth to an infant and threw it away. A pack of dogs later mauled the baby to death.
