Kenya: Woman beheads son for allegedly refusing to breastfeed

Grief has engulfed residents of Ndhiwa, Homa Bay County after a mother beheaded her one-year-old son for allegedly refusing to breastfeed.

Night Akoth Otieno, 23, is said to have beheaded her son using a panga on Saturday at around 9pm.

The child died on the spot following the incident which occurred when her husband was away from home.

According to assistant chief of Konyago sub–Location Gabriel Nyatame, the woman suffers from a mental disorder.

"She was angered when her third born son refused to breastfeed after making several attempts," he told Radio Ramogi.

The administrator said the woman took a sharp panga and beheaded the baby inside the house leaving the head and the body lying separately in a pool of blood.
