The father of slain Moi University medicine student Ivy Wagechi has denied reports circulating on social media claiming that his daughter was HIV positive.
There were speculations online that her killer, Naftali Kinuthia, may have taken the action after she infected him with the virus.
Speaking during an interview with the Standard, Ivy’s father Paul Githui Wainaina has refuted the claims, stating that her daughter was HIV negative.
Wainaina says it is painful to hear such lies being peddled to justify the killing of his first-born daughter.
He has described his daughter as decent and God-fearing, having been raised in a Christian family.
“Please help me clean my daughter’s name. She was a decent, hardworking girl. The stories being circulated about her infecting her killer with HIV/Aids are untrue.”
“This has been discounted by tests already done,” Wainaina states.
“Ivy was brought up in a strict Christian background and is a very honest person. Her character cannot be questioned,” he adds.
Wainaina, who is the principal of Kanjuiri Secondary School in Nyandarua County, also says Ivy had never introduced Kinuthia to the family. He further says he only had a faint memory of Kinuthia.
“I could not recognize the name. When I was shown his picture posted in his driver’s license, I faintly recognized him. I could however not have identified him in the streets. It was long ago and the family moved to Thika,” he explains.
The sixth-year student was hacked to death by Kinuthia using an axe and knife on Tuesday outside the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH).
She will be laid to rest on Thursday at Kirai Village in Mahiga, Othaya, Nyeri County.
Ndugu Githui: Pole sana kwa…
Ndugu Githui: Pole sana kwa yaliyompata binti yako. Ni jambo la kuhuzunisha kuona ya kwamba jina lake linaendelea kuchafuliwa na aliyemwuua binti yako na huku hawezi kujikinga kwa sababu tayari ameshaondoka duniani milele na milele.
Aliyekuwa mpenzi wake akatazwe kusema jambo lolote kuhusu binti yako. Ni jambo la kusikitisha sana na pia kuhuzunisha kuona ya kwamba jambo baya kama hili lilimpata binti yako. Hakustahili kuuawa kama mbuzi au kondoo. Muuaji huyu anafaa naye akatakatwe na shoka na kuchinjwa kama alivyomfanyia binti yako. Ukitoa uhai wa mtu mwingine, hustahili kupewa nafasi ya kuishi hapa duniani.
Wanaume wenzangu; nawaomba mkubali ya kwamba baada ya kukataliwa na mpenzi wako au mke wako, ni lazima uheshimu azimio lake la kumaliza urafiki wenu halafu umwache aendelee na maisha yake na wewe pia, uendelee na maisha yako mapya.
KILICHO NA MWANZO KINA MWISHO.
Nilipokuwa nikianza kujifunza Kiingereza katika darasa la tatu, mwalimu wangu wa lugha hiyo alinifundisha msemo wa Kiingereza mbao sijausahau mpaka sasa. Alitufundisha, “Everything has a beginning and an end, and quietness follows and remains.”
Regardless, that SOB should…
Regardless, that SOB should face the full force of law. The real victim here can’t even speak for herself and people are busy sensetionalizing this murderer. Nyonga yeye, NKT!
Who said HIV people should…
Who said HIV people should be hacked to death? He did not know a condom?
It is bad and really bad to…
It is bad and really bad to have people out there put the decease’s parents into more pain. Let them give a warm sendoff to their lovely daughter.
Also fellow men and ladies, in reference to what this man did, let us learn to walk away from such situations. Mapenzi yakiisha yameisha. Everyone is entitled to his or her social freedom. Let your partner take path of choice. It doesn’t matter how much money or time you spent on or with them. It’s over is over! Hurting in whatever way is no cure. Maisha yako na ya mwenzio iko mikononi mwa Mungu.
Some stories should not be…
Some stories should not be picked up by the press and this is one of them. But since we have incompetent press without responsibility, then a family grieving gets to deal with this garbage.
