But a month ago, the man moved back home in Ngaine village, Mukurwe-ini. \u201cHe used to visit home regularly and stay for days or weeks. But prior to Sunday\u2019s incident he had been here for about a month,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The MP\u2019s departed mother Ms Rose Wachera Mwangi, 70, and fondly known as Wa Kariuki in the village, was hacked to death on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
