Police officers who were called to the scene managed to break into the house and found Naseren unconscious. The child's body was taken to the morgue, while Naseren was taken to Kitengela Sub-County Hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Naseren was forced to vomit the alleged body parts, which will be used as evidence against her.
The Director of Criminal Investigations in Kitengela, Benson Mutia, announced that investigations would carry on despite the admission and expressed his desire for her to provide a statement regarding the same.
"It’s a bizarre incident. We will be interrogating her to ascertain the motive of the killing. We also want to know if the murder was premeditated," he said.
