Reason why they don’t want baby Sagini alive revealed

Date:

The assailants of Sagini wanted him dead when they gouged out his eyes.

After removing his eyes, they thought he was already dead and abandoned him in a maize plantation.

However, baby Sagini lived and was discovered screaming in agony with his body and garments covered in blood.

Investigations suggest that the recent brutal assault on three-year-old Sagini in Marani, Kisii County, was apparently motivated by disagreements over property inheritance.

The gouging of Junior Sagini’s eyes may have been caused by worries that a stepson would someday inherit communal land.

“Sagini’s attackers stuffed him in a sack before taking him to an unknown location where they gouged out his eyes before dumping him in a maize farm, thinking he was dead,” said a detective who understands the case, nation reports.

Rael Nyakerario, Sagini’s grandmother, provided detectives in Kisii with a detailed account of the circumstances surrounding the horrific attack that left Sagini blind.

She claimed that Pacifica Nyakerario, her daughter-in-law, and her son, Alex Ochogo, planned to kill the infant Sagini, who was thought to be the only heir to his stepfather’s property.

“They did not want the victim to inherit the family land in the event that his stepfather [who is ailing], dies,” said Sagini’s grandmother.
