This is Elijah Matoke
He was 52 years of age.
He was a business man
This case was brought to us by his daughter who is crying for justice for her father. We have been in contact and offered grief counselling to the family.
Mr Matoke had met and married his second wife Ruth Chelagat in 2008 . At the time of marriage Ruth had three biological children and her brother. Mr Matoke other children remained with their mother. The couple had a large prosperous farm from which they were able to sell their farm produce.
In 2023, Elijah started to lament that money was disappearing and two of his title deed had also disappeared. He told his older children that the marriage wasn't going well and his blood pressure was spiking, and it was going well for him as he was diabetic.
On several occasions Ruth had threatened to kill him but it was mostly dismissed as people said their marriage was quarrelsome.
5th Dec, Ruth came in with a white jerrican, Matoke presumed it was water, she had once poured water. He went to sleep and around 3am he heard her rummaging around and asking her what was going on, she threatened to kill him. She removed the white jerrican and poured acid on him. He screamed for help but the neighbours assumed it was one of their quarrels.
She put him on a motorbike and rushed him to hospital. The nurses noticed she had acid burns on her hands but she refused treatment. Instead she rushed to the police and reported an intruder had poured acid on her partner. The police got on the scene to find her children and her brother trying to get rid of evidence including the mattress. She was arrested together with her son.
Mr Matoke suffered 40% acid burns including lose of one eye. He was able to record a voice note on what happened. Unfortunately his condition deteriorated rapidly and four days later he passed away.
His daughter Claris is asking for justice for her father as her step brother has already been released from custody and is now threatening her.
The matter is in Nakuru court and the family is asking for a lawyer to represent them and seek justice
