slept with a mother and daughter leaving villagers
in great shock.
A man has left his community in shock after he
married mother and daughter in Kenya.
According to The Nairobian , Fidelis Okochi a
farmer and herbalist in Edaho village of Busia
confessed that he does not know whom he loves
more; Jane Rosa Akinyi, 64, or her daughter, Linet
Awino aged 22.
He maintains that were it not for cultural
interference, “I would have paid dowry for the
mother and her daughter and moved on with life.”
Okochi, who is 20 years Akinyi’s junior, claims he
does not also know how to get out of the marriage
trap.
Details of how the love triangle started has it that
Okochi had met and fell in love with Linet in
Nairobi in 2007, but would later relocate to the
village in 2008 leaving behind Linet.
While in the village, he fell in love with Jane who is
Linet’s mum without knowing she was the mother
of her former lover. However, when Linet came
from the city recently, she was surprised to find
that her former lover was married to her mother.
“I married Linet’s widowed mother Akinyi and lived
with her for over eight years after I left the city.
Linet came the other day from the city, and we only
lived together for six months, until she left a few
weeks ago after my area chief and elders advised
against our union.
"But were it that Akinyi was not her real mother, I
would have deposited something to the first
woman’s home, and then pay full dowry to the
second woman’s home,” a tolerant Okochi offered,
explaining that, “the first woman is past menopause
but the second can give birth.”
Okochi is however a lonely man after Akinyi walked
out of the marriage after learning that her husband
was secretly married to her daughter, Linet. It is
alleged that Akinyi left Okochi’s homestead fuming
and not before placing a curse on her daughter for
stealing her love.
This rare act of man sleeping with mother and
daughter in sleepy Edaho Village made villagers
protest threatening to beat up Okochi if he persists
in his ‘foolishness.’
“His act is the reason why it is no longer raining
favourably in entire Funyula constituency,” said
George Ochieng a villager.
Jane has disputed Okochi’s claim that he only met
her daughter in Nairobi in 2007 saying: “That man
is a liar. He used to be very close to my daughter
even before, to the point that everyone questioned
their union.”
In anger, Akinyi packed and left for OlKajiado in
Rongai area where she works as a house help but
not without cursing and swearing that Linet would
never bear Okochi a child. Linet panicked, but
vowed to stay with the man and live the curse.
Explaining further what happened after he tried to
settle the matter, Linet’s uncle, John Wandera,
says that he summoned his niece and questioned
her on the village rumours that she was sleeping
with her step-father.
“I sat Linet down and tasked her to explain the
rumours. She admitted that she was living with her
mother’s husband. I walked away,” said Wandera
who maintains that the three must be cleansed
traditionally.
Wandera however disputes a cleansing order
forwarded by Okochi, a herbalist, saying that
Okochi is in the mix and cannot pretend to
prescribe any cure on the subject. “Mganga
hajigangui!
