Relatives of a Kakamega teacher who was allegedly shot dead by her alleged Administration Police (AP) husband have come out to disown the man.
Christine Maonga was reportedly killed by the officer identified as Patrick Nyapara on Thursday, in what the police have termed a case of love gone sour.
However, relatives of Christine who had been posted at the Navakholo Secondary School have come out to disown Nyapara, saying that they do not recognize him.
According to Mr Frederick Okumu, Maonga's father, his daughter had already broken up with the officer before the incident and was also a deadbeat father to their young daughter.
"In fact, he is not the father of this small girl, unless DNA is conducted to give proof.
"He has never shown any concern about her upkeep. Since she was born three years ago, it has become my responsibility to take care of her,” he was quoted by the Nation.
Mr Okumu also rubbished claims going around on social media that Mr Nyapara sponsored Ms Maonga's college education, saying that they met when she was completing her course.
"In fact, the police officer knew my daughter when she was almost completing her university education. What assistance did he offer to claim her life?" he added.
Meanwhile, the suspect was arrested on Saturday while attempting to cross over to Uganda, as was confirmed by Western Region Police boss Rashid Yakub.
