According to her, they have been a good relationship between both of them, hence, she was shocked when she found out about what Judith had done and wondered why she had to pay back in such a manner.

Atieno, who later realized what Achando had done after she finished bathing said at first, she thought it was her son who had locked the bathroom door.

“On inquiring what had happened, my son told me that ‘aunty ameenda na simu na laptop’ (aunty has gone with your phone and laptop),” she said.

She quickly went to Ochando’s room but was shocked when she saw the room empty. Immediately she dashed out of the house and reported the case to the police.

It was gathered that as soon as Achando left Lang’ata, she had already secured a job in Mombasa under a new boss.

The matter was reported at Lang’ata station under OB number 66/02/11/2021 under the subject stealing by a servant.

Lang’ata Police boss B Mwanthi said that the matter was under investigation and police had already launched a manhunt for the suspect.
