The body of the 13-year-old boy is reported to have been found wrapped in a blanket.

Kenyans on Twitter seemed to have been shocked by the incident, with a good number of them wondering how the lecturer would explain the fact that she was found in the same house as the decomposing body. They argued that her presence in the house raised a lot of questions with some opining that she must have an idea of how the boy died.

A section of the Twitter users tried to come up with theories as to why the lady was found in the house with the body, some backing the lecturer's claims that her religion prevented her from taking the child to the hospital.

Here are some of the reactions.
