In a tragic turn of events, as narrated by Newton Kimaru, a man whose girlfriend was killed by her father after discovering she was dating him.
In a candid conversation, Newton, a forex trader, narrated how he met his girlfriend, Faith Ngina, and how their relationship evolved over time, leading to plans to formalize their commitment and involve their parents.
“Faith was nearly 19 when we first met. We became friends, and as time passed, we fell in love and became a couple. Our parents found out about us because love isn’t something you can hide,” Newton recalled.
Newton claims that during their dating process, he didn’t see any problem with the relationship. However, as the relationship grew stronger, Faith’s mother became involved and attempted to prevent her from loving him.
“As our love grew, Faith’s mother started mistreating her, throwing her clothes out, and even kicking her out of the house. Faith had nowhere to go but to me. So whenever she was thrown out, she would call me to pick her up and take her home,” Newton said, adding that the behavior continued until her mother finally kicked her out of the house.
This forced Faith to move out and live with Newton in one house.
“Faith’s stepdad lived in Nairobi, and her mother used to update him about everything. That’s when he got my number, and Faith started using my phone to talk to him,” Newton further recalled.
Newton further recalls that one day, Faith’s dad called and wanted her to return home, prompting him to accompany her.
“When she got back home, they told her she couldn’t leave the house again, and it became a while since we spoke since they had taken away her phone to stop her from talking to me. But she managed to find another phone and called me,” he said.
As Faith continued receiving a hostile reception while at his home, she ran away back to her boyfriend but later returned to their home once her stepfather was back.
