An elderly widow on Thursday appealed to a Siaya court to save her from the wrath of her stepdaughter who has persistently been threatening to kill her. Miriam Akoth Kuyo, 78, told Siaya magistrate Tom Olando that her life has been characterised by fear and violence from her stepdaughter, Pamela Kuyo who has been charged with threatening her life. Kuyo has been charged with threatening to kill the granny using a machete on October 14, 2018, at Murumba village in Sirembe sub location, Gem Sub County. Testifying before the court, Akoth said that Kuya has been using violence and threatening to kill her if she insists on staying at her matrimonial home which the stepdaughter wanted her to vacate. A commotion ensued, as the elderly woman raised the alarm that attracted the caretaker, forcing the step-daughter to take off.
