Tabitha Karanja says Omar Lali was after Tecra’s hard-earned money and after licking her dry, he killed her

An emotional Tabitha Karanja on Tuesday, March 9, took the stand to testify in the inquest of her daughter’s death at Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi.

Tabitha, who is the founder of Keroche Breweries, accused Omar Lali of financially preying on her late daughter, Tecra Muigai.

Testifying in court, Tabitha asked God to avenge her daughter’s death, saying that Tecra worked hard only to share her money with an old man who should have otherwise been providing for her.

Tabitha read out to the court her late daughter’s bank statement in which she transferred over Ksh1 million to Omar Lali within a period of five months.

“He was after my daughter’s hard-earned income and when she realized that she could not give him money anymore, he killed her,” Tabitha told the court.

She read to the court details of the bank transfers including the date and amount when her daughter transferred the huge sums of money to Lali.

Tecra, her mother revealed, had revealed that she was having relationship problems but always went back to Lali despite being advised to leave him.

“When your child is over 30, there is very little you can do,” she said.

She said the day Tecra died, she found Karanja, her husband, talking to someone on the phone.

“I heard him say, ‘she is in hospital’, so I asked him, ‘who is in the hospital?’” she said.

Later, she found out it was Lali who was speaking with her husband, informing him that Tecra was in hospital and that she had been induced to sleep because of pain.

“It was not true what Omar was alleging. The injuries were severe so we reported to the police. The doctor told us that if it was a fall, there would have been scars in other parts of the body. She had two cracks on the head,” explained Tabitha.

She told the court that Lali lied that Tecra was drunk but the doctors’ report revealed that she had not consumed alcohol.
