Migori County Police Commander Mark Wanjala reported that the body of the deceased was severely bruised.
“The body had bruised on the knees but we believe that he might have sustained some internal injuries during the incident,” Wanjala stated.
The 30-year-old woman was arrested after the body of his son was discovered by her neighbors.
According to the police commander, the suspect, a businesswoman, left her home on January 2 in the mistaken belief that her son was recovering from a beating.
She acknowledged punishing her son after being shocked to learn of his death.

The mother asserted that the deceased's brother, a 25-year-old son, was also there during the incident.
“The woman has admitted to beating the deceased, but she says that her eldest son was also present,” Wanjala confirmed.
Wanjala continued by saying that although the police had not yet determined the 15-year-exact old's cause of death, they had good grounds to suspect that he passed away from injuries received as a result of the punishment.
While the mother was being held at the Oruba Police Station pending her arraignment in court, the boy's body was transported to Migori Level 5 Hospital for postmortem examination.
