According to the daughter, she had on the morning of the tragic day, pleaded with the mother not to go to work since it was her birthday but the magistrate declined to heed her call.
The Magistrate while declining her request assured that she had a job to do and will make it up for missing her birthday party during the weekend.
“I told her not to go to work it’s her birthday, but she declined insisting we will celebrate on the weekend, she loved her work. Life has a way of turning things around. I’m gonna miss her laughter. These moments have been cut short.”
Later that day, Kivuti’s daughter had called her mother while in work to wish her a happy birthday not knowing that that will be the last conversation he was to have with her mother.
