She was beaten to a point blood would splash in the room" Mother remembers daughter who was battered to death by her boyfriend



Early last year, LIB reported about the painful death of a young Kenyan woman, Sharon Muthoni, who was battered by her boyfriend, Salim Kipruto Serem. 
Postmortem report indicates she suffered multiple internal injuries - her heart, brain, liver and spinal cord had blood clots and discharge from the violence. Kipruto disappeared the moment Sharon passed away, and has since been on the run. Reports say he is hiding in Uganda.

On the first anniversary of Sharon's death, January 14th, her mother, Mrs Connie Muuru, a businesswoman based in Nairobi held a memorial service for her. Connie, who has started a project that would empower victims of domestic violence, says her daughter’s experience has made her cognizant of the macabre experiences people in violent relationships go through. She narrated to eDaily what transpired until her daughter died.

"My daughter was not married. She was living in Belgium, where she pursued her first and second degree alongside international languages; she could speak French, German, Dutch and many more. She got a baby in 2014. When I visited her in Belgium, I did not like the place.

"I asked her to relocate to Kenya when the baby turned one because – according to me –, Belgium was not conducive to both of them.

“Sharon returned to Kenya in September, 2014. She stayed in my house up to April, 2015 when she moved out. She went to live in Syokimau, and that is where she met her partner, who ended up killing her. Their relationship had not even lasted one year. The guy was putting up with a friend of his at the time before moving in with my daughter,” Ms Muuru told eDaily amid pains.
