A 27-year-old woman who was arrested on Monday, April 24 for fatally stabbing her 2-year-old girl and eating her body parts confessed to the murder and explained why she did it.
A video of the heinous act went viral on social media, with neighbours who recorded the woman killing the daughter arguing that she was mentally unstable given the fact that she committed the crime without fear of being arrested and charged.
In a statement to the press on Tuesday, April 25, the woman, Olivia Naseren, however, claimed that she was affected by the breakup of the child's father.

She alleged that she attacked the baby because she hated herself and suffered greatly with the child.
“I do not love myself and that is the reason why I decided to take the life of my daughter,” Naseren stated.
The incident was depicted in the video which showed Naseren repeatedly stabbing the young girl while reciting a nursery rhyme, with reports indicating that her parents were away when the crime was committed.
A police report had indicated that Naseren cut her baby into pieces before feeding on the intestines and kidney, in an incident that left locals speechless with rage.
She had locked herself in her house playing with the baby when she suddenly became violent and started breaking household items.
The noise attracted her neighbours who watched in disbelief as she descended on her daughter with a knife more than 100 times, as they could not access the room to rescue the innocent child.
Police and the locals managed to break into the house and found the woman unconscious.
“Juvenile aged two years old was sliced by the mother into pieces, and she later fed on her intestines the suspect was found at the scene unconscious and escorted to the Kitengela Sub-county Hospital for treatment,” the police report read in part.
“Neighbours were attracted by noise from her house and they rushed into her room where they found she had locked herself inside alongside the minor. She began by breaking her TV set before she picked her baby whom she stabbed more than 100 times as neighbours watched in disbelief. She later dismembered her body and began eating the deceased body parts."
The woman was rushed to Kitengela Sub-county Hospital for treatment pending further action.
"Upon arrival at the hospital she was treated and forced to vomit the alleged body parts which are now part of the evidence in the case," police added.
The deceased's body was taken to Kitengela Sub-county Hospital morgue awaiting autopsy, with the incident coming merely days after a female employee of a fast food joint in Kitengela was on Friday, April 21 stabbed to death by a male colleague who was reportedly off duty.
