The incident has been taking place at Etyonin village in Kapkiamo.

The mother, 40, said she left the three at the hands of the suspect in December last year after quarrels.

"I ran for safety and was planning to go back and silently whisk the children away since I knew he would kill them one day," the mother said.

She added: "Before running away, she had threatened to kill me."

The suspect is said to have fled after police went on a hunting spree.

The victims, aged between four and twelve, were taken by children officers in Baringo.
