Newton Kiomaru aka Kimfx, the boyfriend of 18-year old Faith Ngina, who died on Thursday 18, after allegedly after being punished by her step-dad has opened up.
In an interview with Tuko Talks, Newton revealed that Faith had sought refuge at his place after being punished 2 days prior to her death.
“On Tuesday evening, she called me with a different number at around 7.15 pm telling me to go to her it’s an emergency. It was raining, I got my friend’s motorbike and went to her at around 9pm. I found her lying on the grass outside the church’s gate which is near their home. She was sleeping and was full of mud and had cow dung on her hair . She had been beaten a lot as she was unable to walk well and even get on her motorbike,” Newton recounted.
He took him to his place where they spend the night and on the following day at 8pm, Faith’s step-dad showed up at his place, with another man demanding Faith to accompany him home.
After some back and forth, Faith was reluctantly dragged home, that being the last time that Newton saw her alive.
“While she was dressing up, her father(step-dad) slapped her such that she fell on the ground. I told her father that he wouldn’t punish her in my house. Faith alikuja akanishikilia akisema ‘Usikubali niende beb.’ alienda akisema hio kitu,” Newton narrated.
Newton, who is a forex trader, says that he doesn’t feel any guilt that being with Faith cost her her life.
“I don’t think it was illegal for me to be with Faith. She had completed school and she was turning 19 the coming month on date 12. She had an ID and she was able to make her own decisions. What I know is that if her (step)father wouldn’t have come for her, Faith would still be alive today. After she told me that I had no plans of letting her go home,” he said.
“There was something going on at her home that she wouldn’t want to be there. She would be at peace spending time with me,” he added.
Newton is however not sure why Faith’s parents were opposed to their relationship, especially her mother.
“I think maybe it because of some negative information that her mother received about me but I don’t know. I don’t use any drugs. Most parents protect their children from people who have no future or maybe they are using drugs or the bad things they do, I have no such records in this place,” he said.
“I feel stressed, confused,” Newton added.
According to him, Faith’s biological father would reach out to him whenever he wanted to talk to Faith. On the week that Faith passed on, she did not communicate with her father leaving him worried.
“What she told me, is that she was told if she goes back home she would get killed,” the father admitted when he was contacted via phone.
Newton said that despite being with Faith for 3 months, he had resolved to live with her because she didn’t have peace at her parents’ home and there was no other place she could go to.
