The parents Mr Steve Opar and his wife Wendy Audrey claimed that their late son chocked to death in the house as the maid watched TV in the living room.

Opar who is a lawyer by profession, pointed out that he received the news concerning his son from his neighbor Naomi Wambui after she was informed of Jayden's condition by Opar's 16 year-old brother.
Wambui alleged that the maid only gestured the location of the baby as she watched TV after busting into the house.
