Mukurwe-ini MP Kabando wa Kabando’s brother, Ceaser Thiari on Monday revealed why he killed his mother, Rose Wachera.
After appearing in a Mukurwe-ini court over the murder charges, the 40 year old suspect requested to speak to the media saying that he had something he wished to tell the world.
Composed and speaking fluently for 10 minutes, he apologized for the incident, asked for forgiveness and requested to be reconciled with his family.
“I wish the whole world will forgive me, even my brothers, my sisters, my relatives and my distant cousins. I never wished to kill mother. I became angry and used a panga to kill her. It was not easy killing my mother. I was unconscious,” he said, “My mother shocked me when she asked me whether I knew, "why my father Erastus Mwangi died in 1980? Let me first go to Nairobi and when I come back, I will reveal all to you." It is at this juncture that I became very bitter by those words and grabbed the panga since I loved my father so much."
Chained and under heavy security Thiari said he had tried many times to be independent in life and even tried rearing rabbits to earn a livelihood but his mother and other family members kept frustrating him.
He alleged that his brothers feared him, as they imagined that he would outdo them, adding that whenever there was a family meeting at home, they would only send people to represent them instead of appearing personally.
“It’s only while in the dark that you can see stars. There was a time I was working at the office of the aspiring Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria in Nairobi and even before the month was over, he left me and I became more frustrated,” he said adding that since his arrest on August 27, nobody had ever visited him.
Thiari, a bachelor and last born in a family of six, said that even when he was previously hospitalized in a Murang’a hospital nobody visited him.
“I don’t have money for a lawyer but I hope one day I will be free. Let the world see that I’m not an animal but a human being. There will come a time when the world will realize that it wasn’t my wish. I know one day I will come out of police cells and become an icon like Pastor Peter Ng’ang’a," said the repentant Thiari who also denied abusing drugs asserting that he stopped using drugs before going to the Asumbi rehabilitation centre several years ago.
“One can use drugs due to frustrations or to get high but I stopped using them along time ago,” he said.
The suspect said he was not alone as he could hear the voice of his mother forgiving him and even hoped that God would forgive him.
Meanwhile, last weekend during the burial ceremony, the family said they had forgiven Thiari although no family member attended the court on Monday during the mention of his case before Acting Senior Resident Magistrate Victor Otieno.
The Nyeri South Criminal Investigation Officer Patrick Oyalo told the court that he had finished investigations but wished to present the file to the Director of Prosecutions Office, Nyeri chapter for further directions.
Thiari is yet to take a plea in the murder case.
