She said that she and the now-deceased husband were disagreeing on who should have custody of the child.
"We had underlying domestic issues from last year and decided to end our relationship. After I moved out, he ordered that I give him back the baby.
"After so many threats, I decided to allow him to see the baby. He was angry after I informed him that I was not available on Saturday when my daughter was celebrating her birthday. So when I took the baby on Sunday, he told me that he was going to kill all of us including the baby,” Elizabeth recounted, as quoted by pulselive.co.ke.
