Tabitha Karanja owner of Keroche Breweries and mother to the late Tecra Muigai has in an inquest  revealed her daughter used to fund boyfriend Omar Lali.

This she revealed on Tuesday in court by her mother who was giving her testimony in the inquest into Tecra’s death.

Tabitha Karanja told the court she found out that her daughter had made bank transactions and M-Pesa transfers to Lali’s account.

She said she got concerned by what was going on, adding that her daughter was too young to have been sending money to an older man.

“I became suspicious because Tecra was a young girl compared to Lali, so when you see her giving money to this old man I was suspicious…it should be the other way round,” she testified.

Tecra’s Personal Assistant also testified and told the court how she allegedly received instructions from her to send money to Lali.

She claimed she was however never told why the money was being sent to Lali’s account but not to Tecra’s own account.

Sarita Ikenye said the M-Pesa transactions were between Ksh 10,000 to Ksh 40,000.

Tecra died in May 20,2020 after an accident in Lamu. She was the last born in the family.
