A woman embroiled in a child custody battle with her estranged husband and a former Scotland Yard detective now claims he is out to kill her.
Speaking to our reporter, the woman, who is fighting to have full custody of the baby she has with the Mzungu lover, claims the man is out to kill her.
She further accused the husband of allegedly being involved in the murder of a man from Kakamega.
” Tell stupid Kevin Hurley he will not win to kill me. He killed someone from Kakamega,” said the woman in a text sent to our reporter.
Kevin Hurley, a former Scotland Yard detective, is embroiled in a bitter row with the mother of the minor, who hails from Mombasa.
The case is currently before the Appellate Court, where Hurley is seeking to quash an earlier ruling barring him from custody of his son.
He is appealing to the Appellate Court to quash the orders barring him from the custody of the child, citing his only interest in safeguarding the child’s well-being.
Hurley, through his advocate, Lawrence Obonyo, cites that the judge handling the matter, Justice John Onyiego, erred by not considering the evidence he adduced before the court.
“The learned Judge erred in law in not considering the evidence adduced on behalf of the appellant, and in not considering the evidence adduced on behalf of the appellant,” reads the appeal.
It further states that the judge, in his evaluation and analysis of the evidence, failed to appreciate it properly, equitably, judiciously, and sufficiently, or at all.
“The judge’s decision was contrary to the weight of the evidence placed before him on the record of appeal.”
In an earlier ruling, Justice Onyiego acknowledged that the court had heard that the mother was unkind to the child, whose performance drops and health deteriorates whenever he is with her.
“Whenever custody was granted to her, she disappeared to deny the father access,” the judge noted, referring to the two times she sneaked to Nigeria to hide the baby from the father, where she was apprehended as an illegal migrant.
