Former Director of Public Prosecutions Philip Murgor on Thursday accused his stepmother of practising and witchcraft as fight for a multimillion farm escalated.
Mr Murgor, who was cross examining one of his stepbrother in an Eldoret court, said his stepmother Celina Murgor and stepsister Elizabeth were using witchcraft in the land saga.
Philip made the claims while cross-examining his stepbrother George Murgor who was testifying in the succession matter that is being presided by Justice Olga Sewe.
“Your honour my elder sister Elizabeth and her mother Selina practice witchcraft and they have instilled fear into George so that he can lie about Kalyet farm,” said Philip as quoted by the Standard.
After Philip’s assertions, Elizabeth burst into screams out of anger attracting the attention of the presiding judge.
Justice Sewe warned her to control her temper or get out of court.“I am not going to allow disruption of court proceedings. You either control your temper or get out peacefully,” said Sewe.
The elder Murgor left four widows: Selina Murgor with five children, Hannah (two children), Christine (Six children) and Dinah (four children).
But Philip, a son of Christine, said that the land was bought by his mother, adding that the father, a former Nyanza Provincial Commission, was broke at the time the land was bought.
“My father was in a serious financial problem that he could not afford to purchase the 1,400-acre Kalyet farm. It was my mother who bought it,” said Philip.
