The man identified as Victor Ayieko is said to have abducted the son after sneaking into his ex-wife's home when she had left for work. Upon returning home Nancy Adhiambo and her husband Christopher Okeyo  discovered that the woman's former husband had been seen leaving with the boy on a motorcycle.

The two then rushed to Ayieko's house at the nearby Mukuru kwa Njenga  where they discovered the boy was lying dead on the suspect's bed and Ayieko's body hanging from an electric cable nearby.

Ayieko's suicide note and Ksh.500 were discovered on the table, directing Adhiambo to purchase airtime and notify his entire family of his death.

The DCI has requested parents to be more careful with whom the leave their children with whenever they're away.

"Owing to the increased cases of missing children in city estates, parents and guardians are urged to guarantee the safety and security of their children, by leaving them in the hands of responsible adults whenever they are away," the DCI said.
